1943 Map of Cedar Point

USGS Topo · Published 1943

About this map

Mon Louis Island and the coastal fishing communities of Mobile Bay are shown here as they appeared during the early 1940s. The landscape is defined by the transition from the piney woods of southern Mobile County to the tidal marshes of Mississippi Sound. Near the town of Bayou La Batre, the rail infrastructure shows signs of change with the G M and O (Abandoned) line, indicating shifting transportation patterns in the seafood-processing hubs of Coden and Heron Bay. To the south, the map details the barrier island geography around Dauphin Island and Little Dauphin Island, connected to the mainland via Grants Pass and Pass aux Herons. Navigational landmarks like the Mobile Bay LH and coastal points such as Cedar Point and Fowl River Pt emphasize the maritime economy of this Gulf Coast region before modern development.
