2011 Map of Daphne

About this map

Mobile Bay defines the western edge of this coastal landscape, where the eastern shore’s high bluffs and deep gullies meet the water. The suburban growth of the early 21st century is evident in the street networks of Daphne and Fairhope, yet the map preserves the names of smaller historic communities like Seacliff, Volanta, and Houstonville. For genealogists, the sheet documents important burial grounds including Montrose Cemetery and the Fairhope Colony Cemetery. The terrain is marked by distinctive hydrological features like Fly Creek and Rock Creek, alongside geological landmarks such as Red Bluff and Big Mouth Gully. The presence of the Brantley 1 Dirt Pit and the specialized Fly Creek Marina reflect the local economy’s mix of resource extraction and maritime recreation. This survey captures a moment of transition where the natural ravines and the legendary Jackson Oak stand alongside modern infrastructure like the Daphne Post Office.
