About this map

The Perdido River carves a winding boundary between Alabama and Florida, anchoring a landscape defined by wetlands and extractive industry. In the late 1970s, the rural character of Baldwin County is visible through scattered settlements like Seminole and Muscogee, the latter featuring the Old Muscogee Cem near the riverbank. The terrain is marked by numerous Claypits, particularly north of the Bear Branch and near the Mobile Highway Ch.

Transport history is preserved in the Old Railroad Grade that cuts through the southern reaches near Soper Bay and the Styx River. To the east, the community of Beulah sits adjacent to the Coastal Airport, while local river access is provided at Browns Landing. This map documents a period of transition where traditional river-and-rail land use met the expanding infrastructure of pipelines and improved highways.
