About this map

The eastern shore of Mobile Bay is defined here by a dense network of estuarine waterways and significant military history. Defensive fortifications including Civil War Trenches, Kings Battery, and Fort McDermott are preserved across the landscape near Spanish Fort and the historic settlement of Blakeley. This area, where the Tensaw River, Apalachee River, and Raft River converge, shows a complex system of islands and marshes including Blakeley Island, separated from the mainland by the Shellbank River.
