1943 Map of Citronelle

About this map

Citronelle stands as the primary hub of this 1940s Alabama interior, where the high pine lands of Mobile and Washington counties meet. The landscape is defined by a dense network of country schools and churches, including Sims Chapel Sch and Pleasant View Sch, reflecting a deeply established rural community before the mid-century. Along the eastern edge, the Mobile River provides a critical transport artery, bordered by the Southern railroad and settlements like Bucks and Chastang.
