1943 Map of Blakeley

USGS Topo · Published 1943

About this map

Civil War Trenches and Kings Battery define the high ground overlooking the Mobile River delta in this 1939 survey. The area around Blakeley serves as a stark historical focal point, where the terrain transitions from the convoluted marshes of Blakeley Island to the prominent heights of Humpback Ridge. The map captures a moment when the Spanish Trail and the Cochrane Bridge provided the primary automotive artery across the complex waterway network of the Tensaw River and Apalachee River. Local industry and river access are evident through numerous small landings like Sibley Ldg and Johns Ldg tucked along Minette Bay. Small settlements such as Bridgehead and Park City sit at the edge of the wetlands, illustrating the balance between the burgeoning coastal development and the challenging geography of the Mobile Bay headwaters.
