1970 Map of Fort Barrancas

USGS Topo · Published 1993

About this map

Pensacola Naval Air Station dominates the northern shoreline of this coastal survey, where the military's influence on the Escambia County landscape is evident through extensive airfield layouts and historic fortifications. The strategic importance of the entrance to Pensacola Bay is highlighted by the presence of several defensive structures, including the Fort San Carlos (Ruins), Fort Redoubt (Ruins), and Fort McRee (Ruins). Inland, the residential community of Pleasant Grove sits adjacent to the sprawling Barrancas National Cemetery, while the southern portion of the map transitions into the coastal wilderness of the Gulf Islands National Seashore. This protected area spans the shifting sands of Perdido Key and Santa Rosa Island, separated by the Sherman Inlet and the waters of Big Lagoon. The map also captures the local geography of Garcon Swamp and several small settlements like Quinavista and Seaglades.
