About this map

Battles Wharf and Point Clear anchor this coastal survey of the eastern shore of Mobile Bay, where the landscape transitions from developed waterfront communities to dense interior wetlands. The shoreline is defined by Great Point Clear and a series of historic points and wharves, while the inland areas are characterized by a network of drainage systems including Ghost Head Swamp, Caldwell Swamp, and Gum Swamp.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant landmarks such as the Confederate Rest Cem near the coast and Twin Beech Cem further north. The map documents the modern infrastructure around Fairhope, including the H L Sonny Callahan Airport, alongside older settlements like Barnwell and Mullet Point. This contemporary view shows the dense road network connecting the bayside residences with the agricultural and wetland stretches leading toward Bon Secour Bay.
