2021 Map of Fort Morgan NW

About this map

Dauphin Island presents a focused perspective on the western reaches of this barrier island along the Alabama coast. This 2021 survey illustrates the precarious and narrow geography of the island as it transitions into the open Gulf of Mexico. The primary infrastructure shown is Bienville Blvd, the central artery that dictates the settlement pattern and accessibility of the shoreline. The map captures the coastal interface at a specific moment in time, documenting the relationship between the built environment and the shifting sands of the Gulf Coast.
