1921 Map of Muscogee

About this map

The Escambia River and Perdido River frame this 1921 reconnaissance of the borderlands between Alabama and Florida. Compiled by the Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army, the map details a landscape defined by its waterways and small rail-side settlements. The town of Muscogee sits as a central hub near the state line, while river crossings like Billy Malone Ferry and Nunez Ferry indicate how residents navigated the low-lying basin before modern bridging. Along the eastern rail corridor, towns such as Cantonment, Gonzales, and Cottage Hill mark the transition from the river bottom to the uplands.
