About this map

The dense waterfront of Pensacola is shown here just before the city’s post-war expansion reshaped the outskirts. The harbor remains a hive of activity, anchored by Muscogee Wharf and the Inner Harbor Channel, while the Pensacola-Gulf Breeze Bridge provides a vital link across the bay to Gulf Breeze. The urban core is a cluster of civic and spiritual landmarks, from Seville Square to Sacred Heart Hospital.

To the north and east, the landscape transitions into the residential and academic districts of Goulding and East Pensacola Heights. Along the shores of Bayou Texar, landmarks like Bayview Cemetery and Pensacola Junior College reflect the mid-century growth of the area. Rail infrastructure from the Louisville and Nashville and St Louis-San Francisco lines weaves through the industrial corridors, illustrating the long-standing importance of transportation to the Florida Panhandle's economy.
