1956 Map of Point Clear
USGS Topo · Published 1956About this map
Great Point Clear and the eastern shores of Mobile Bay define this mid-century landscape of Baldwin County. The shoreline transition from Battles Wharf down to Mullet Point shows a coastal economy shifting toward recreation and residence, anchored by the Lakewood Country Club and several small boat landings like Darling Landing and Bryant Landing. Inland, the terrain is marked by low-lying wetlands such as Ghost Head Swamp and the drainage of Bailey Creek, which separate the coastal strip from the agricultural community of Barnwell. Local history is preserved in sites like the Confederate Rest Cem and Twin Beach Cem, while the road network is led by the development along Eastern Shore Boulevard. This survey provides a clear view of the bay's edge before the significant expansion of coastal infrastructure.
