1980 Map of The Basin

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Mound Island and the intricate delta of the Tensaw River dominate this complex fluvial landscape in the early 1980s. The region is defined by a dense network of braided waterways, including Negro Bayou, Mifflin Lake, and Bayou Matche, which weave through the lowlands between the Mobile and Baldwin County line. Cultural landmarks like the Port Louis Historical Marker and Twentyseven Mile Bluff suggest a deep history of navigation and early settlement along these river bends. Industrial activity is sparsely represented by a Claypit and Shipes Canal, while the presence of a small Cem near the river bluffs indicates long-standing local ties to this amphibious terrain. The map captures the area known as The Basin before modern changes altered the flow of features like Six Bits Creek and Maple Bayou.
