About this map

Loxley serves as the primary hub in this Baldwin County landscape, where the modern transport corridor of Interstate 10 intersects with a dense network of rural routes like Truck Route 17 Rd and Old Brady Rd. The region is defined by its complex drainage systems, featuring the meandering Styx River and numerous tributaries such as Hollinger Creek and Persimmon Cr. These watercourses have long shaped the local topography, creating the wetland basins that now contain Steelwood Lake and Lake Kendrick.

Local history and aviation are noted through small facilities like Baswell Airport and Williamson Farm Airport, alongside agricultural landmarks like Berry Field. For genealogists, the map identifies specific burial sites including Hinote Cem and Dyess Cem. The persistence of early infrastructure is evident at the Old Mill Bridge on the northern edge of the survey, while labels like International Paper and Hunting Club suggest the transition between industrial timber interests and recreational land use.
