- This map depicts Mobile in the immediate aftermath of the British acquisition of the territory following the Treaty of Paris (1763). The map meticulously details the layout of Mobile, including its streets, buildings, and key infrastructure, such as forts and public spaces. Given the strategic importance of Mobile as a port city on the Gulf Coast, Pittman's survey would have been crucial for British military and administrative officials in understanding the city's defenses, potential for expansion, and integration into the broader British colonial system.
