2020 Map of Saint Andrews Bay

About this map

Fort Morgan Peninsula serves as a narrow sandy barrier between the Gulf of Mexico and the interior waters of Saint Andrews Bay and Bon Secour Bay. This coastal survey highlights the precarious geography of the Alabama shoreline, where landforms like The Spit and Edith Hammock are shaped by the surrounding tides. The local settlement of Gulf Highlands sits at the southern edge of the peninsula, centered around a network of residential roads such as Beach Blvd and Sea Shell Dr. Historically significant for its maritime positioning, the area features protected inlets like Navy Cove and Hog Bayou, which have long defined the character of Baldwin County's coastal life. The map captures the balance between the developed corridors along Dixie Graves Pkwy and the wild, marshy environments of the Three Rivers system.
