1941 Map of Muscogee

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

The Perdido River and Escambia River define this borderlands landscape, where Florida meets Alabama in a complex network of waterways and timber-era settlements. In the early 1940s, the region was anchored by rural community hubs like Muscogee, Cantonment, and Molino, each connected by the industrial arteries of the Louisville and Nashville RR and the San Francisco RR. The map reveals a dense social fabric of the period, documenting numerous rural schools and places of worship such as Tate Sch, Pughs Chapel, and Latham Chapel. Along the riverbanks, distinct landings and islands like Cottage Hill Landing and Parker Island indicate a landscape heavily shaped by river-based transport and the local fishing economy. The presence of numerous named lakes, including Blackfish Lake and Sawdust Lake, suggests a low-lying terrain characterized by backwaters and cypress swamps that dominated the space between the rising timberlands.
