About this map

Southport and the northern outskirts of Lynn Haven define this coastal landscape where the waters of North Bay and West Bay meet. The map reveals a transition from the established residential grids along Nassau St and Riley Rd to the more sparsely settled northern reaches near Vicksburg. Local history is anchored by several burial grounds, including the Southport Memorial Gardens Cem and Grassy Point Cem, which serve as vital markers for genealogical research in this part of Bay County.

The terrain is characterized by a complex network of bayous and wetlands, notably Alligator Bayou and Fannin Bayou, which carve into the low-lying coastal plain. Named landmarks like Cedar Hammock and Mill Point offer insight into the natural features that have long influenced settlement patterns. To the north, a web of named tracks such as Skunk Valley Rd and Annie Lee Brock Rd suggests a more rural, woodland character distinct from the bayside communities.
