2014 Map of Chickasaw

About this map

The industrial and riverfront landscape of northern Mobile County is defined by the convergence of the Mobile River and Spanish River in this 2014 study. Industrial growth is evident in the corridors surrounding Chickasaw and Prichard, where the complex rail and road networks of Gulf St and Highway 43 S intersect. The map reveals the intricate delta environment east of Satsuma, featuring a maze of waterways like Big Bayou Canot and Hickory Bayou surrounding Twelvemile Island. Genealogists will find a high concentration of local burial sites throughout the residential areas, including Whistler Colored Cem, Pritchard Memorial Cem, and Satsuma Cem. This record of the coastal Alabama interior balances the expansion of suburban neighborhoods like Norwood and Junior Acres against the persistent marshlands of the lower river basin.
