1943 Map of Blakeley

USGS Topo · Published 1943

About this map

Civil War Trenches and Kings Battery mark the heights above the Blakeley River, overlooking a complex delta where the Tensaw River and Apalachee River meet Mobile Bay. This 1943 edition reflects a landscape shaped by military history and the expansion of early 20th-century transportation. The Cochrane Bridge and Old Spanish Trail cut a straight path across the wetlands of Blakeley Island, connecting the industrializing bayfront to the eastern shore. Genealogists will find interest in the Blakeley Cem near the site of Blakeley, as well as the D'Olive Cem further south. The intricate network of waterways, including Chacaloochee Bay and Bay Minette Basin, illustrates the difficult terrain that defined the region's development before modern drainage and infrastructure projects.
