USGS Topo · Published 1942About this map
Fort Morgan and the defensive remnants of Fort Gaines anchor the mouth of Mobile Bay in this coastal survey conducted just before the United States entered World War II. The map details the strategic maritime gateway between Mobile Point and the eastern tip of Dauphin Island, where the Main Channel provides the primary deep-water access from the Gulf of Mexico. Historical navigation is marked by the Sand Island L H, positioned near the shifting sands of Pelican Island and its surrounding shoals.
