1941 Map of Cedar Point

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Mon Louis Island dominates the central coastline of this 1940s survey, defined by the winding course of the Fowl River and its numerous coastal bayous. The map captures a transitional moment for the region's infrastructure, notably showing the G M and O (Abandoned) railroad line stretching toward the fishing community of Bayou La Batre. This coastal landscape is a complex network of marshes and water passages, where Grants Pass and Pass aux Herons provide critical navigation between Mobile Bay and the Mississippi Sound. Small settlements and landmarks like Alabama Port, Dixon Corner, and the Mobile Bay LH (lighthouse) anchor the shoreline. To the south, Dauphin Island is shown with its interior waters including Dauphin Island Bay and Graveline Bay, illustrating the area's intricate maritime geography before significant modern development altered these barrier island and mainland reaches.
