Fort Morgan stands as the primary sentinel on this survey, guarding the entrance to Mobile Bay from the eastern tip of the Fort Morgan Peninsula. Directly across the Main Channel to the west, Fort Gaines anchors the eastern end of Dauphin Island, illustrating the strategic maritime defenses that have long defined this Alabama coastal pass. The map details the shifting sands of the barrier islands, including the elongated profile of Pelican Island and the complex shoals of Dixey Bar and Southeast Shoal.
