1980 Map of The Basin

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Mobile River and its intricate distributaries dominate this riverine landscape at the boundary of Baldwin and Mobile counties. The map documents a critical hydrologic network where the Middle River and Tensaw River branch through marshy bottomlands, creating significant landmasses like Mound Island. Along the western bank, elevated features such as Twentyseven-Mile Bluff and Twentyone-Mile Bluff provide topographical contrast to the surrounding wetlands. This area holds significant colonial history, marked by the Fort Louis Historical Marker, which identifies the early 18th-century site of French settlement in the region. The interior is a labyrinth of water bodies including The Basin and Bayou Dead Lake, illustrating a complex delta system before further modern modification. Small-scale industrial activity is noted at the Claypit near the southwestern marshes.
