1944 Map of Hollingers Island

USGS Topo · Published 1944

About this map

Hollingers Island and the coastal marshes of the western Mobile Bay shoreline are captured here as they appeared just before the mid-century. This coastal landscape is defined by the winding course of the Dog River, where social and recreational landmarks like the Gulf Hunting and Fishing Club and Mobile Yacht Club suggest a well-established waterfront culture. Further inland, the presence of the G M & O RR (Abandoned) line traces the evolution of transportation in the Mobile area, showing how rail was already giving way to the road network including Cedar Point Road and Riverside Drive. Local life centers on small rural institutions such as the Racetrack Sch and New Hope Ch, while the Gaillard Cem provides a specific point of interest for those tracing family genealogy in this part of Alabama.
