About this map

Citronelle serves as the primary hub of this eastern Mobile County survey, where the Illinois Central Gulf railroad cuts through a landscape defined by natural resources and community infrastructure. The map reveals an extensive oil field and numerous gas wells interspersed among timbered tracts and local landmarks like the Langdon Lookout Tower. Local history is preserved in the clustering of community sites such as Bethlehem Ch, St Annes Ch, and the Convalescent Center.

Education and youth activities are central to the area's development, evidenced by the Citronelle High Sch, Lott Sch, and the presence of Camp Pushmataha and Scoutshire Woods. Waterways like Cedar Creek and Little Cedar Creek wind through the terrain, which is dotted with family-named burial grounds including Meinhardt Cem and Mt Nebo Cem. This map records a mid-1980s transition where industrial oil extraction coexists with established rural settlements like Lambert and Sidney.
