Gulf Shores occupies the narrow peninsula of Baldwin County, defined by the transition from the brackish waters of Little Lagoon to the open expanse of the Gulf of America. This 2025 survey illustrates the modern street grid and coastal development concentrated along W Beach Blvd and E Beach Blvd. The map captures the delicate geography of this barrier landform, where residential corridors like W Lagoon Ave and Brigadoon Trl are situated between the protected lagoon and the primary Gulf shoreline. The layout reflects the contemporary maritime economy and seasonal residency patterns of the Alabama coast, providing a precise record of the developed shoreline before future coastal shifts or urban expansion.
