1953 Map of Hollingers Island

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Brookley Air Force Base dominates the northern shoreline of this coastal survey, where the Dog River meets the western edge of Mobile Bay. The landscape shows a mix of military presence and developing recreational communities, as evidenced by the Mobile Yacht Club and the Gulf Fishing and Hunting Club. Settlement patterns follow the Louisville and Nashville railroad line and primary roads like Cedar Point Road, linking established local landmarks such as South Brookley School and Casher Cemetery. To the south, Hollingers Island is defined by its agricultural and residential character, separated from the mainland by the complex network of the Deer River and its multiple forks. The map provides a detailed view of the 1950s shoreline infrastructure, from the Dog River Bridge to the Hollingers Island Channel, illustrating the region's reliance on both rail and water transport.
