2011 Map of Perdido

About this map

The settlement of Rabun and the community of Perdido anchor this 2011 survey of northern Baldwin County, Alabama. The landscape is defined by a dense network of watercourses including Dyas Creek, Beard Creek, and Majors Creek, which wind through the terrain alongside numerous named branches like Stage Stand Branch and Schoolhouse Branch. This topography suggests a history of localized water-powered industry or early transportation routes along these natural drainage systems. For genealogists and local historians, several family-linked burial sites are clearly marked, such as Gentry Cemetery near Paul Rd and the Bryars McGill Cemetery and McGill Cemetery cluster farther south. The map documents an extensive rural road system, from Splinter Hill Rd to Tab Turberville Rd, reflecting a dispersed agricultural or forestry-based population that relies on these arteries to connect the smaller hamlets and family homesteads.
