1958 Map of Fort Morgan NW

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Dauphin Island is captured during a pivotal moment of mid-century development in Alabama, showing the emerging residential layout along Bienville Blvd. This 1958 topographic study provides a detailed view of the barrier island's narrow eastern reach, where the settlement of Dauphin Island sits between the relatively calm waters of the Mississippi Sound and the open Gulf of Mexico. The survey reflects a transitional period when the island was transforming into a coastal community, documented by planetable surveys and hydrographic data from the late 1950s. Most of the sheet is dedicated to the offshore depths of the Gulf, mapping the underwater contours and soundings that defined these navigation routes decades ago.
