1940 Map of Mobile

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

The Port of Mobile sits at the confluence of the Mobile River and Mobile Bay, serving as a critical Gulf Coast hub just before the mid-century industrial expansion. The map details a landscape defined by its waterways, from the marshy Pinto Island and Hollingers Island to the intricate network of the Dog River and Chickasaw Creek. Significant local institutions like Spring Hill College and the Visitation Convent & Academy appear alongside the urban core, which is anchored by Magnolia Cemetery and the historic Murphy High Sch.
