About this map

Gulf Shores occupies a narrow strip of land along the Alabama coast, positioned between the expansive Gulf of Mexico and the interior Little Lagoon. This 2018 survey documents the precise coastal alignment of roads and infrastructure that define this high-traffic tourism and residential corridor. The narrow land bridge carries arterial routes like W Beach Blvd and E Beach Blvd, which serve as the primary conduits for the area's modern development.

Critical infrastructure and residential patterns are visible at the western end of the lagoon, where the Lee Gallaway Bridge and Brigadoon Trl provide access to the further reaches of the peninsula. The map illustrates the town's linear growth pattern, constrained by water on both sides and heavily reliant on these coastal thoroughfares for connectivity. For researchers, it provides a detailed record of shoreline management and street-level layout in Baldwin County.
