About this map

The Perdido River and Styx River define this corner of the Alabama-Florida border, where the pine-laden terrain of Baldwin County meets Escambia County. The landscape is etched by a dense network of tributaries, including Hollinger Creek and its namesake Dogwood Creek, which flow through woodland marked by a system of pipelines. Settlement is sparse, anchored by the community at Pine Grove and punctuated by industrial footprints like the Sandpit and Claypit operations.

Local history is preserved in small landmarks such as High Pine Cem and another cemetery near the western edge. The presence of a Pumping Sta and various utility corridors suggests the region's role as a transit point for resources between the two states. This 1970s-era survey, with revisions through the early 1990s, documents the rural character of the Gulf Coastal Plain before later development patterns altered the watershed.
