1921 Map of Pensacola

About this map

Pensacola and its surrounding coastal waters appear in detail following fieldwork by the Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army under the direction of Col. W. M. Black. The map highlights the strategic maritime and military importance of the region, featuring the U. S. Live Oak Plantation on the peninsula and a Quarantine Station near Sabine Point. Industrial activity is evident along the waterfront with the Muscogee Wharf and Perdido Wharf, served by the L & N R R and P & P R R rail lines. Settlements such as Goulding, Brent, and Bohemia dot the landscape north of the bay, while the shoreline is defined by prominent landmarks like Red Bluff and Magnolia Bluff. The coastal geography is meticulously charted, showing the bathymetry of Pensacola Bay, Santa Rosa Sound, and East Bay leading out to the Gulf of Mexico.
