1994 Map of Orange Beach

About this map

Wolf Bay and Perdido Bay define this coastal landscape on the Alabama-Florida border during the mid-1990s. The map illustrates a complex network of bayous and inlets, including St John Bayou and Cotton Bayou, which intersect with the engineered path of the Intracoastal Waterway. The settlement patterns here reflect a transition from small, established communities like Miflin and Josephine to the expanding leisure and residential developments of Orange Beach and Ono. Notable landmarks of the era include the U S Naval Res Wolf Field and the extensive shoreline of Gulf State Park. The survey also documents local industry and infrastructure, from a Claypit near Miflin Creek to the various boat ramps and water tanks that supported this growing maritime region at the end of the 20th century.
