About this map

The Escataupa River winds through this section of Mobile County, defining a landscape of low-lying wetlands and sandy uplands. The community of Deer Park serves as a primary hub, centered around the Deer Park Post Office and connected by historic routes like the Deer Park-Vinegar Bend Rd. This survey captures the rural character of the area through its family-named landmarks and water management features, including the Wade H Odom Pond and Doctor Vincent Best Pond.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local burial grounds, such as Weldy Cemetery, Shiloh Cemetery, and County Line Cemetery, which indicate long-standing family settlements. To the southeast, the small locales of Freilburg and Dwight sit near Dwight Hill, reflecting the scattered nature of timber or agricultural outposts in this region. The network of creeks, such as Little Creek and Pond Creek, illustrates the complex drainage systems that shaped early road placements and property boundaries.
