About this map

Mobile stands as a vital Gulf Coast port just prior to the heavy industrial shifts of World War II, showing a landscape defined by its intricate river delta and burgeoning urban center. The city's maritime dependency is evident in the extensive State Docks RR infrastructure and the City Wharf along the Mobile River, while the defenses at Battery Gladden and Battery McIntosh guard the upper reaches of Mobile Bay.
