1970 Map of Perdido Bay

About this map

The Alabama-Florida state line bisects the waters of Perdido Bay in this coastal survey, where the intricate geography of islands and inlets defines the local landscape. The northern reaches show the wooded shoreline around Soldier Creek and the residential pocket of Perdido Beach along the western shore. Moving south, the barrier islands and lagoons create a complex maritime environment. Ono Island and Perdido Key are separated by the narrow stretch of Old River, showing the area before intensive modern development reshaped the dunes. On the Florida side, nascent communities like Gulf Beach Heights and Treasure Hill Park are established near the Intracoastal Waterway, while the Holiday Harbor Marina serves as a focal point for the boating culture that thrives in the protected waters of Big Lagoon.
