2011 Map of Coden

About this map

Bayou La Batre and the coastal reach of Porters Ville Bay define this corner of the Mobile County shoreline. This early 21st-century landscape reflects a complex transition from traditional maritime life to an energy-driven economy, evidenced by the numerous gas fields such as Bellingrath Gardens Gas Field and industrial infrastructure like the DCP Midstream Gas Gathering Facility. The map captures the established community of Coden, where the Coden Post Office and Catholic Cemetery sit near the water's edge, alongside several other local burial grounds including Oddfellows Cemetery and Cold Springs Cemetery. Inland, the terrain is shaped by a network of waterways including the Fowl River and Bayou Jonas, interspersed with rural settlements like Delchamps and Laurendine. The presence of the Roy E Ray Airport and Pit Development Corporation Pit 4 highlights the mixed-use nature of this coastal Alabama region during this period.
