2011 Map of Little Point Clear

About this map

Little Point Clear anchors the southern edge of this coastal survey, where the terrestrial landscape of Baldwin County gives way to the expansive waters of the Gulf Coast. The map illustrates a critical maritime intersection where the deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico meet the protected reaches of the Alabama shoreline. To the north and east, the transition into Mobile Bay and Bon Secour Bay highlights the complex hydrography of the region's estuarine system. These waters are further defined by submerged features such as the Middle Ground, reflecting the shifting shoals and navigational challenges inherent to this part of the coast. This 2011 edition provides a precise record of the shoreline and bathymetric boundaries prior to subsequent coastal changes, serving as a foundational document for understanding the geographic relationship between the peninsula and its surrounding bays.
