Perdido Bay and the surrounding coastal waters define this borderland region, where the state line divides the shores of Alabama and Florida. On the Alabama side, the settlement of Perdido Beach sits near Red Bluff and Soldier Creek, while across the water, the Florida landscape is characterized by dense residential developments such as Treasure Hill Park, Seaglades, and Chanticleer. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the barrier island system, featuring the protected lands of the Gulf Islands National Seashore and the popular Johnsons Beach. The Intracoastal Waterway cuts a straight path through the lagoons and sounds, separating Innerarity Point and Gulf Beach Heights from the Gulf-facing beaches. Navigational landmarks like the Canal Bridge and points of land such as Tarkiln Point and Du Pont Point illustrate the complex geography of the bays and inlets that have shaped the local maritime culture.
