2011 Map of Saint Andrews Bay

About this map

The narrow Fort Morgan Peninsula separates the expanse of Gulf of Mexico from the northern waters of Mobile Bay and Bon Secour Bay. This coastal landscape is defined by its thin geography, stretching toward the western point of the Spit near Hog Bayou. Development is concentrated along the southern shore, where the residential community of Gulf Highlands and the Kiva Dunes Golf Course are reached by a network of residential roads including Beach Blvd and Plantation Rd. The map illustrates a late-century transition toward vacation and resort development, evident in named paths like Beach Club Trl and the grid of lettered avenues. This area represents the fragile intersection of shifting sandbars and permanent human settlement on the Alabama coast.
