1944 Map of Mobile

About this map

Mobile serves as the focal point for this mid-century coastal survey, illustrating the city's complex industrial and transit network just as wartime production peaked. The urban core is tightly gridded, bounded by the Mobile River and the bustling waterfronts of Blakeley Island and Pinto Island. Infrastructure such as the Bankhead Tunnel and Cochrane Bridge show the vital road links across the delta, while the Gulf Mobile and Ohio RR and Louisville & Nashville RR dominate the logistics of the port.
