About this map

Lartigue Cemetery and Casher Cemetery stand as quiet landmarks in a landscape defined by the convergence of river and bay along the Alabama coast. This 2011 survey illustrates a region where residential developments like Sherwood and Gulf Dale are interspersed with complex bayou systems and tidal marshes. The area’s maritime character is anchored by numerous hubs for local boaters, including the Dog River Marina, Blue Jay Marina, and Beachcomber Marina, all situated near the John Roberts Peavy Bridge.

The hydrology of the quadrangle is remarkably intricate, showing the multi-pronged drainage of the North Fork Deer River, Middle Fork Deer River, and South Fork Deer River as they meet the Gulf of Mexico. Large landforms such as Gaillard Island and Hollingers Island dominate the aquatic vista, while smaller features like Dog River Bar and Deer River Point mark the shifting boundaries of the coastline.
