1944 Map of West Pensacola

About this map

Corry Field and its accompanying Landing Field under construction anchor this mid-century view of Escambia County during a period of rapid wartime expansion. The landscape is defined by the intersection of military aviation and older rural settlements like Belleview, Myrtle Grove, and Millview. To the north, the Abandoned Railroad Grade and the Frisco tracks trace the path of earlier industry, while numerous churches such as Union Hill Church and Mt Pilgrim Ch serve as local community hubs. The coastal margins are detailed with landmarks including Redfish Pt on Perdido Bay and the specialized Air Beacon Corry Field 1934, providing a clear record of the area's transition into a major naval aviation center while still retaining its traditional town structures like Warrington and Brownsville.
