USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Mobile serves as the focal point of this coastal survey, showcasing a dense urban and industrial landscape before the full expansion of the interstate system. The city's reliance on the waterfront is evident in the complex network of the Alabama State Docks and the Industrial Canal, where the Mobile River meets Mobile Bay. Significant institutional landmarks like the Barton Academy and Murphy High Sch are mapped alongside massive public spaces such as Magnolia Cemetery and Ladd Stadium.
