About this map

Perdido Bay and the winding Perdido River dominate this coastal landscape at the border of Alabama and Florida. The settlement of Lillian serves as a central hub, connected by the Lillian Bridge to the eastern shores of Escambia County. To the north, the terrain becomes increasingly marshy, defined by the Blackwater River and the extensive Lillian Swamp. This geography influenced a development pattern of small communities like Perdido Heights and Paradise Beach hugging the southern bayfront, while the interior remains characterized by more dispersed landmarks.

Evidence of local history and aviation is found at the Gilley Memorial Cem and nearby private airstrips such as Shields Airport and Ban Farm Airport. The map also details several distinct coastal points, including Chagrin Point and Suarez Point, alongside the Tarklin Bayou Preserve State Park Trail. This documentation preserves the mid-century layout of roads like Co Rd 91 and Bishop Trace Rd before further modern coastal expansion.
