1980 Map of Robertsdale

About this map

Robertsdale and the surrounding Baldwin County agricultural landscape are captured during a period of infrastructure expansion in the early 1980s. The map illustrates the convergence of local life and military presence, notably at the OLF Summerdale US Naval Res in the southern portion of the sheet. The drainage patterns of the Blackwater River and its tributaries, including Milk Mill Creek and Rock Creek, dictate the placement of local cemeteries and community centers such as Coopers Cem and Rosinton Ch.
