1958 Map of Fort Morgan NW

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Dauphin Island stretches across the northern edge of this coastal survey, serving as a critical barrier between the Mississippi Sound and the open Gulf of Mexico. Based on 1958 topography with revisions compiled in 1981, the map highlights the early modern footprint of the Dauphin Island settlement. The arterial Bienville Blvd provides the primary transit corridor along the narrow island reach, where residential and commercial development is concentrated. This documentation by the U.S. Geological Survey and USC&GS captures the shoreline's vulnerability and the island's unique position as a low-lying coastal outpost. The vast majority of the sheet is dedicated to hydrography, showing bathymetric contours and soundings that define the seafloor as it drops away into the Gulf, providing essential data for maritime navigation and coastal history researchers studying the Mobile County coastline.
