1980 Map of Magnolia Springs

About this map

The Magnolia River and Fish River converge toward the brackish waters of Weeks Bay in this 1980 survey of coastal Baldwin County. The namesake village of Magnolia Springs sits along the river's winding banks, characterized by a mix of residential development and small landing strips that highlight the area's transition toward recreation and light aviation. To the north, Clay City reflects a more industrial past with its Claypit, while the O.L.F. Magnolia U S Naval Res occupies a significant tract of land to the east. This map captures the landscape before modern suburban expansion fully altered the rural character of communities like Marlow and Barnwell. Local historians and genealogists will find several rural landmarks of interest, including the Brook Cedron Cem, the South River Park Cem, and numerous country churches such as Vernant Park Ch and Mt Gilead Ch.
