1941 Map of Fort Barrancas

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Fort Barrancas and the military airfield at Corry Field anchor this coastal landscape along the border of Florida and Alabama. The survey depicts a shoreline defined by the complex waters of Perdido Bay and Big Lagoon, where the Intracoastal Waterway cuts behind Santa Rosa Island. Inland, the settlement pattern shows growing communities like Warrington, Myrtle Grove, and West Pensacola situated near the head of Bayou Grande. Across the Perdido River via the Lillian Bridge, the Alabama side remains more sparsely populated, marked by Lillian and the swamps of the Perdido River valley. This era reveals the transition from isolated coastal landings like Hurst Ldg to established residential and military hubs, including local landmarks such as Union Hill Ch and Mt Pilgrim Ch.
