About this map

Orange Beach serves as the focal point for this coastal survey, where the Intracoastal Waterway threads between the mainland and the shifting sands of the Gulf shore. The map illustrates a landscape defined by water and recreation, featuring a high concentration of nautical infrastructure such as Zeke's Landing Marina, Sportsman Marina, and the Pirates Cove Marina and Boat Yard near Josephine. The complex geography of inlets and bays, including Wolf Bay, Bay La Launch, and Arnica Bay, shapes the settlement patterns from Miflin down to the barrier features of Perdido Key.

Genealogists and local historians can trace the development of smaller communities like Caswell and Perdido Beach, as well as recreational landmarks like Adventure Island Amusement Park. The map also captures several islands and points critical to coastal navigation, such as Robinson Island, Walker Island, and Alabama Point, providing a detailed view of the Alabama-Florida border region just before the mid-2010s.
