About this map

The Perdido River and the state boundary between Alabama and Florida define the eastern reaches of this landscape, where the waters of the Gulf Coast hinterlands converge. Settlement is sparse, anchored primarily by Pine Grove and a network of rural routes like Brady Road and Dodd Road. The area is heavily intersected by infrastructure, featuring several prominent pipelines and a Pumping Sta, suggesting the industrial extraction and transport common to this coastal plain region during the late twentieth century.

Tracing the hydrologic network reveals the importance of local drainage, from the Styx River in the southwest to Hollinger Creek and the curiously named Wiggins Still Creek. Small-scale industrial markers such as a Claypit and Sandpit appear alongside markers of local heritage, including the High Pine Cem and another lone Cem near the residential center. The presence of the Bingham Tower in the east provides a notable landmark above the wooded creek basins.
