1953 Map of Mobile
USGS Topo · Published 1955About this map
Brookley Air Force Base dominates the southern waterfront of the city in the mid-1950s, serving as a massive industrial and aviation hub on the shores of Mobile Bay. The urban landscape is densely packed with mid-century civic infrastructure, including Ladd Stadium, the historic Barton Academy, and medical centers like Providence Hospital and the Mobile Infirmary. To the north, the rail-oriented growth of Prichard and Whistler is clearly defined, while the complex delta of the Mobile River shows a heavy industrial presence at Pinto Island and McDuffie Island.
