Fort Morgan and Fort Gaines stand as historic sentinels at the mouth of Mobile Bay, anchoring this coastal survey. This maritime landscape is defined by the shifting sands of the Dauphin Island Spit, Pelican Island, and Sand Island, showing the dynamic nature of the Alabama shoreline where the bay meets the Gulf of Mexico. The map documents the residential layout of Bienville Beach and Dauphin Beach, with local streets such as Epinet St and Buchanan St reaching toward the water. A critical transportation link is noted via the Dauphin Island-Fort Morgan Ferry Crossing, which connects the two historic fortifications across the channel. Notable landmarks for navigation and local recreation include the Front Range Light at Mobile Point and the Gulfside Golf Course, situated near the brackish waters of Alligator Lake and Oleander Pond.
