1943 Map of Hurricane

USGS Topo · Published 1943

About this map

The delta complex where the Mobile River and Tensaw River converge defines this 1940s landscape, a maze of cypress swamps and tidal bayous. The Louisville and Nashville RR cuts a straight path across this watery terrain, passing Ortiz Siding and crossing the broad rivers before reaching the settlement of Hurricane on the eastern bluffs. This elevation change marks a sharp transition from the marshy lowlands of Twelvemile Island and Gravine Island to the populated hills of Baldwin County.
