1943 Map of Muscogee

About this map

The Perdido River forms a winding natural border between Florida and Alabama in this early 1940s survey, highlighting a landscape defined by its waterways and rural communities. In the east, the Louisville and Nashville RR connects several settlements including Molino, Cantonment, and Gonzalez, while the St Louis San Francisco RR cuts across to the industrial hub of Muscogee. The interior is dotted with numerous small country institutions that served the local timber and agricultural economy, such as Little Flock Ch, Farm Hill Ch Sch, and Magee Chapel. Along the Escambia River swamps to the east, specialized river features like Webb Landing and Beaverdam Lake indicate the importance of the river for transport and local resource extraction before the development of modern highway networks.
