About this map

Alabama River bottomlands and the intricate delta of the Mobile River dominate this 1940s landscape, revealing a river-dependent economy and settlement pattern. The confluence of major waterways like the Tensaw River and Middle River created a complex network of islands, including Robinson Island, Aikin Island, and Bilbo Island. The presence of Indian Mound on the southern riverbanks and several landings like Davis Ldg and Silver Ldg point to centuries of human activity along these shifting channels.
