1953 Map of Hurricane

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Civil War Trenches remain etched into the landscape along the eastern bank of the Tensaw River, providing a tangible link to the area's strategic military importance. This delta environment, where the Mobile River and Tensaw bifurcate, is a complex network of bayous and islands, including Twelvemile Island and Gravine Island. The settlement at Hurricane serves as a focal point along the Nashville and Louisville RR, reflecting the vital role of rail transport in the mid-20th century. Local life is documented through numerous community landmarks, such as Magnolia Ch, Blakesley Sch, and Miller Cem. The landscape transitions from the marshy Chuckfee Bay and Grand Bay to the rising elevations of Stony Hill, where an Airway Beacon and a series of landings like Steam Mill Landing hint at the river-based commerce and navigation essential to Baldwin County.
