1958 Map of Fort Morgan

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Fort Morgan and Fort Gaines stand as dual sentinels at the mouth of Mobile Bay, anchoring this coastal survey. This mid-century view, updated with early 1980s aerial data, reveals a shifting maritime landscape where the Main Channel cuts between Mobile Point and the eastern tip of Dauphin Island. Coastal features like the Dauphin Island Spit and Pelican Island illustrate the dynamic nature of the Alabama shoreline. Navigational markers are prominent throughout the pass, including the Sand Island Lighthouse, Mobile Point Light, and the Front Range Light. On the islands, local landmarks such as Alligator Lake, Oleander Pond, and a Golf Course indicate the area's development into a coastal destination. The map also identifies specialized maritime zones, such as a Cable Area and a dedicated Anchorage for Explosives in the bay.
