2020 Map of Coden

About this map

Bayou La Batre and the coastal settlement of Coden anchor this maritime and wetland landscape along the Alabama Gulf Coast. The region is defined by an intricate network of tidal waterways including East Fowl River, Bayou Coden, and Bayou Jonas, which weave through expansive wetlands toward The Narrows. This geography reveals the historical reliance on these waters for local commerce and transport, with settlements like Delchamps and Laurendine situated near the marsh edges. For genealogists, the map provides precise locations for several local burial grounds, such as Lundy Cem, the Odd Fellows Cem, and the Saint Michael Catholic Cem. The area's small-scale aviation history is also noted with the Roy E Ray Airport and the Dale O Galer Aerodrome, while the presence of Mon Louis Island to the east highlights the complex shoreline and bayou systems that have shaped Mobile County for generations.
