1941 Map of Creola

About this map

The delta environment of the Mobile River and Spanish River dominates this survey, revealing a landscape defined by industrial expansion and rural crossroads just before the mid-century. The Gulf Mobile And Ohio and Southern railroads facilitate the movement of goods between northern timber tracts and the Shipyard facilities near North Mobile. While settlements like Creola and Satsuma line the primary rail corridors, smaller communities such as Chunchula and Mauvilla anchor the western interior. The map illustrates a dense network of local education and faith, evidenced by numerous facilities like Starlight Sch, Saint Stephens Sch, and Golf Crest Ch. Along the meandering Chickasaw Creek, topographic details show the transition from the upland elevations of Sand Hill to the complex waterways of Hells Swamp and Twelvemile Island.
