Mobile Region
The Mobile Region map is a part of a larger regional plan. The straight orange line is in the major zone of development which extends to New Orleans and points beyond. The irregular brown line shows the fake Master Plan (official map) proposed in 1965 for continuous growth of the City of Mobile; the dotted green line is the current Mobile city limits. In the orderly and systematic plan Municipal units are about 12 miles square, the size of four townships, and are laid out on a bias to avoid confusion with other survey lines; thus oriented it is an economy toward building life extension. Unit perimeters are rights-of-ways reserved as open space for major transportation routes which can be developed as the need arises. The Mo del-city shown can be adapted to any unit but would apply only to new development particularly of streets and subdivisions; old development remains as long as it is useful or desirable - yellow zone is suburban based on Frank Lloyd Wright's Broadacre City concept, blue is residential, green is agricultural, the red square is the executive compound, the orange is the urban core, dotted green is public land for wild-life preservation. Suggested population densities and distribution and other details are on the Model City page.
Coordinates of any point may be computed using KYMAK parametric datum transformation formulas. Confirming iterations by US Dept. of Interior USGS c. 1988 by John Snyder. Accuracy of conversion is thus confirmed.
