annotates: • Depicts the Mobile River from its mouth to the Alabama River. Also includes the Tensaw River from its mouth to the confluence with the Mobile River. This map is a significant historical document that offers a snapshot of the geography, settlement patterns, and land management practices immediately adjacent to the River and Delta after the British took control in 1763.
• Many Indigenous places and towns are depicted, but often labeled “abandoned” which was likely not the case for many.
