About this map

Dog River and its intricate tributaries dominate the western shore of Mobile Bay in this mid-century survey of coastal Alabama. The landscape reveals a mix of recreational and community infrastructure along the water, including the Gulf Hunting and Fishing Club, the Alba Club, and the Mobile Yacht Club near Dog River Pt. Moving south across Alligator Bayou, the terrain transitions to Hollingers Island, a distinct landform defined by Deer River and its multiple forks.

Local history is preserved through the locations of the Racetrack Sch and several neighborhood spiritual centers like New Hope Ch, Hollingers Island Ch, and St Philips Ch. Transportation in the era relied on the established corridors of Cedar Point Road and Riverside Drive, which linked these bayfront settlements. The inclusion of the Casher Cem provides a specific point of interest for genealogists tracing family roots in this marshy, estuarine environment.
