2014 Map of Fort Morgan

About this map

Fort Morgan stands at the tip of the Fort Morgan Peninsula, guarding the eastern entrance to Mobile Bay where it meets the Gulf of Mexico. This 2014 survey reveals a dynamic maritime landscape defined by shifting sands and critical navigation channels. To the west, across the Mobile Ship Channel, Dauphin Island features residential developments like Bienville Beach and Dauphin Beach, with streets such as Admiral Semmes Ave and Audubon St laid out near Pelican Point. The transit between these two landmasses is linked by the Moble Bay Ferry. The coastal geography is further shaped by a series of shoals and smaller islands, including Pelican Island, Sand Island, and the Sand Island Shoal. The map captures the complex hydrography of the area, detailing the Main Channel, Middle Channel, and the Swash Channel, illustrating the essential maritime routes for regional commerce.
