1953 Map of Bridgehead

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Civil War Trenches and the historic site of Blakeley dominate the northeastern reaches of this survey, where the bluffs of Shay Ridge overlook the complex delta of the Tensaw River and Apalachee River. The map captures a landscape defined by its strategic military geography, from the earthworks of Fort McDermott to the riverfront at Spanish Fort. The transport network centers on the crossing of Mobile Bay via the Cochran Bridge and the Old Spanish Trail, connecting the marshy islands of the delta to the rising settlements on the eastern shore.
