1982 Map of Citronelle East

About this map

Citronelle serves as the primary hub on this map, situated within an extensive Oil Field network that dominates the northwestern landscape. The industrial character of the early 1980s is evident in the dense concentration of Pipelines, storage facilities, and numerous extraction sites. Transportation and logistics are defined by the Illinois Central Gulf railroad corridor, which parallels the highway through Sidney and Russell. Outside the industrial zones, the land reveals a quieter, communal history through a series of rural churches and cemeteries, such as Mt Nebo Cem and Bethlehem Ch. The terrain is deeply etched by the headwaters of Cedar Creek and Little Creek, while the presence of Scoutshire Woods and the Langdon Lookout Tower near Spring Lake highlights the region's managed forests. This survey captures a moment of established petroleum production integrated with small, persistent Gulf Coast settlements.
