2012 Map of Pace

About this map

Escambia Bay and the complex delta of the Escambia River dominate this 2012 survey, revealing a landscape defined by water and rapid residential expansion. The intricate network of waterways, including Saultsman Bayou, Simpson River, and Woodbine Bayou, creates a maze of islands such as Noriegas Island and Brosnaham Island. This period shows the established campus of the University of West Florida bordering the river marshes, while the residential reaches of Riverview and Floridatown stretch toward the eastern shoreline. To the north, the Spencer Naval Outlying Field and the Chemstrand Pier represent the area's ongoing military and industrial footprints. For those tracing local heritage, the map identifies the Whitmire Cem and smaller settlements like Yniestra along the southern bayfront, capturing the interface between the dense suburban grid and the tidal wetlands of the Gulf Coast.
