1941 Map of Weeks Bay

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Battles Wharf and Point Clear anchor the eastern shoreline of Mobile Bay during this 1940s survey by F.H. Sargent, W.D. Ehrlich, and R.J. Scott. The landscape is defined by the convergence of the Fish River and Magnolia River into Weeks Bay, a region where timber and turpentine history give way to coastal settlement. Genealogists will find significant records in the numerous burial grounds, including the Confederate Rest Cem and Twin Beach Cem. Inland, the map details the rural character of communities like Barnwell, Clay City, and Marlow, connected by early routes such as Shore Boulevard and Dixie Road. To the south, the thin barrier of Sand Dunes separates the Gulf of Mexico from the Little Lagoon, showing the Intracoastal Waterway and isolated landings like Dorgans Ldg before modern development transformed the Alabama coast.
