About this map

The western boundary of Citronelle in Mobile County is defined by a landscape of industrial extraction and quiet rural gathering places. In the early 1980s, this area was characterized by its sprawling Oil Field and commercial sites like the Oil City Speedway and several sandpits. Local genealogy and community life are rooted in landmarks such as New Hope Cem and several country churches including New Home Ch and Bethel Ch.

The terrain is shaped by the Escatawpa River to the west and the prominent Sand Ridge to the south. Small water features like Citronelle Lake, Puppy Creek, and Sandy Ford Branch weave through the timbered tracts, while routes such as Beverly Jefferies Road and Earlville Road connect the isolated settlement at Byrd to the town center. The map also records the Washington Co Mobile Co line, illustrating the administrative divide in this pine-heavy coastal plain region.
