1943 Map of Cedar Point

USGS Topo · Published 1943

About this map

The coastal landscapes of Mobile County are captured here just before the mid-century, following surveys by J.A. Newman and C.H. Parker for the War Department. The map reveals the intricate network of tidal waterways and settlements along Mobile Bay and the Mississippi Sound, including the fishing village of Bayou La Batre and the community of Mon Louis. A significant indicator of changing transportation patterns is the G M and O railroad line, marked as abandoned as it runs toward the coast. Along the southern edge, the map details the barrier island geography of Dauphin Island and Little Dauphin Island, separated from the mainland by the Pass aux Herons. Smaller settlements like Alabama Port and Bellefontaine line the Cedar Point Road, while numerous bayous such as Bayou Jonas and Bayou Coden cut through the marshy lowlands.
