About this map

The Mobile River and its complex delta system define this coastal landscape, where the bustling port city of Mobile meets the marshy expanses of Polecat Bay and Spanish River. The city's mid-century footprint is marked by prominent institutions such as Spring Hill College and the Visitation Convent, while the residential expansion westward is visible through settlements like Crichton, Cottage Hill, and Spring Hill. The waterfront infrastructure is highly detailed, showing the Bankhead Tunnel, the Cochrane Bridge, and the State Docks RR servicing the harbor.
