1953 Map of Daphne

About this map

The Eastern Shore of Mobile Bay transitions from mid-century coastal life toward suburban growth in this documentation revised in 1953 and updated through 1974. The city of Fairhope is clearly defined by its distinctive grid reaching toward the Municipal Wharf and Magnolia Beach, while the town of Daphne and the historic community of Montrose sit northward along the high bluffs of Red Bluff. The landscape is dotted with educational and spiritual institutions essential to the era, including the Baldwin Co Training Sch, Holy Cross Sch, and the Friends Ch.
