About this map

Industrial and residential development along the Highway 43 corridor north of Mobile defines this 2011 landscape. The map details the established communities of Creola, Axis, and Le Moyne, centered around essential services like the Creola Post Office and Axis Post Office. Local history is anchored by several burial grounds, including the Creola Cemetery and the Little Saint Louis Church Cemetery near the northeastern corner.

The area's economic base is clearly marked by extensive energy infrastructure, including the Cold Creek Oil Field, South Cold Creek Oil Field, and the Hatters Pond Gas Field. Water management is prominent in the central terrain, where the Cold Creek Dam and Maples Lake Dam control drainage into the numerous bayous and branches, such as Gunnison Creek and Sawmill Creek, which feed into the larger river systems just beyond the map's eastern edge.
