2018 Map of Perdido Bay

About this map

Perdido Beach and the surrounding coastal reaches of Perdido Bay define this landscape along the border of Baldwin County, Alabama, and Escambia County, Florida. This 2018 survey documents the complex geography of the Gulf Coast, where the Intracoastal Waterway and Old River separate residential developments on Ono Island and Perdido Key from the mainland. The area is characterized by low-lying wetlands and protective inlets, including Tarkiln Bayou and Tarkiln Bay, alongside prominent landforms like Red Bluff and Manuel Point. The map provides a detailed view of coastal land use, showing established neighborhoods like Gulf Beach Heights and Seaglades positioned north of the expansive Gulf Islands National Seashore. It serves as a definitive record of the shoreline and maritime infrastructure, including the Canal Bridge, at a time of continued coastal habitation and conservation.
