1994 Map of Mobile

About this map

Mobile anchors this coastal landscape where the Mobile River meets the head of Mobile Bay. In the mid-1990s, the city's industrial and maritime footprint is clearly defined, with the USS Alabama Battleship Memorial State Park and Brookley Airport situated along the shoreline. To the west, the rural interior of George and Jackson Counties in Mississippi and Mobile County in Alabama is a dense network of water systems, including the sprawling Big Creek Lake and the meandering Pascagoula River. Extensive protected areas like the Mississippi Sandhill Crane National Wildlife Refuge and the De Soto National Forest dominate the western portion of the sheet. The region's transport evolution is evident in the convergence of the Illinois Central Gulf RR and Louisville and Nashville RR lines near the port, alongside the modern paths of Interstate 65 and Interstate 10.
