About this map

Perdido and Dyas anchor this landscape along the border of Baldwin and Escambia counties, where the topography is defined by the winding course of the Perdido River. The area maintains a rural, dispersed character, with small settlements like Carney, Phillipsville, and Pinchona connected by a network of local roads and the prominent corridor of US Highway 31. The mapping records significant local history markers, including Perdido Cem and Cain Cem, which provide essential touchpoints for genealogical research in this part of southern Alabama.

A complex drainage system of creeks such as Dyas Cr, Bushy Cr, and Horseneck Cr feeds into the river valley, while Lake Crosby sits near the rail line. The persistence of names like Old Pensacola Rd reflects the deep-rooted transportation history of the region. This 2014 survey documents the modern state of these small communities and their relationship to the natural timber and wetlands of the Gulf Coastal Plain.
