2018 Map of Daphne

About this map

Daphne and Fairhope anchor this 2018 survey of the Eastern Shore, illustrating the modern residential and commercial density along the high bluffs overlooking Mobile Bay. The map captures a sophisticated network of local roads and planned developments that have transformed the coastal landscape, yet older markers remain, such as the Jackson Oak in the north and the Montrose Cem further south. The topography is defined by sharp erosion features like Red Gully, Stack Gully, and Big Mouth Gully, which cut through the elevated shoreline toward the bay. These drainages separate distinct communities such as Montrose, Seacliff, and Volanta. Further inland, the transition from coastal bluffs to low-lying areas is marked by Titi Swamp and the headwaters of Rock Cr, showing the complex drainage patterns that continue to influence the growth of Houstonville and Loyola Villa.
