1956 Map of Coden

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The coastal landscapes of the Gulf of Mexico meet the intricate water networks of southern Mobile County in this mid-century survey. The settlement of Bayou La Batre anchors the southwestern corner, showing a detailed grid of streets and structures near the harbor before significant modernization. To the east, Mon Louis Island is defined by the Fowl River and its various branches, including the East Fowl River and The Narrows. This document preserves the locations of local landmarks such as Bellingrath Gardens and the Roy E Ray Airport, alongside smaller community centers like Delchamps and Laurendine. The mapping of an Old Railroad Grade and numerous bayous, including Jonas Bayou and Bayou Sullivan, provides a clear view of the historical drainage and transportation patterns that shaped the region's development.
