1944 Map of Dyas

About this map

The Perdido River and the winding Styx River define this rural landscape along the Alabama-Florida border during the early 1940s. The region is marked by small settlements and family hubs like Walnut Hill and Phillipsville, connected by the Louisville and Nashville and St Louis San Francisco railroads. This era's infrastructure is dominated by timber and forest management, evidenced by the Walnut Hill Fire Tower and the Bingham Fire Tower. Local community life centers on country landmarks such as New Providence Ch, Antioch Ch, and the Dry Springs Ch. Significant surveying points like the Base Line and the Airway Beacon near Dyas indicate the growing importance of regional navigation. The numerous creeks, such as McCurtin Creek and Horseneck Creek, carve through the terrain, illustrating the natural drainage patterns that shaped early settlement and road placement in Baldwin and Escambia counties.
