1978 Map of Pace

About this map

Escambia Bay and the complex wetlands of the Escambia River dominate this 1970s landscape, illustrating the transition between the growing community of Pace and the academic grounds of the University of West Florida. The map reveals a dense network of waterways including the Bannahassee River, Simpson River, and Little River, which carve through Brosnaham Island and Noriegas Island. Industrial activity is evident near the water, marked by numerous Industrial Waste Ponds and a claypit near the CSX railroad line.
