1921 Map of Fort Barrancas

USGS Topo · Published 1921

About this map

The coastal defense landscape of the Gulf of Mexico is prominently displayed in this military reconnaissance, highlighting the strategic convergence of Fort Barrancas Military Reservation and the U.S. Navy Yard. This 1921 survey illustrates the complex maritime geography of the Alabama-Florida border, where the Perdido Bay and Bayou Grande separate the mainland from the protective barrier of Santa Rosa Island. The map meticulously details the harbor entrances at Caucus Shoal and Middle Shoal, guarded by the historic fortifications of Ft. Barrancas, Ft. Pickens, and Ft. Mc.Rae.
