1953 Map of Bridgehead

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Civil War earthworks and military batteries define the eastern bluffs overlooking the Mobile River delta in this 1953 update. Significant historical markers, including the Civil War Trenches, Kings Battery, Spanish Fort, and Fort McDermott, are mapped along the high ground of Saluda Ridge, documenting the strategic defensive positions of the era. The settlement of Blakeley and its nearby Blakeley Cem sit north of the developing Bridgehead community, where the Cochrane Bridge carries traffic across the complex waterway of Mobile Bay and the Apalachee River.
