About this map

Spanish Fort and the surrounding fortifications anchor the eastern heights of this coastal survey, where the bluffs of Baldwin County meet the expansive delta of Mobile Bay. The landscape is a complex network of marshes and waterways, including the Apalachee River and Tensaw River, framing the historic site of Blakeley. Traces of conflict and defense are etched into the terrain, from Civil War Trenches and Kings Battery to Fort McDermott, indicating the strategic military importance of these heights overlooking the bay.
