2014 Map of Grand Bay

About this map

Grand Bay and Bayou La Batre anchor this coastal portrait of southwestern Mobile County, where the low-lying terrain meets the waters of the Gulf. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of tidal inlets and marshes, including Bayou La Fourche Bay and Portersville Bay. In the northern interior, the settlement of Grand Bay is established along the rail lines and major thoroughfares like Us-90, while local history is preserved at the Grand Bay Cem and Pine Hill Cem. Near the coast, the waterfront identity of Bayou La Batre is evident, with its connection to Little River and the sheltered Little Bay. The presence of the St Elmo Airport in the northeast and smaller communities such as Pinecrest and Fernland suggest a region shaped by both its maritime economy and its position along critical transportation corridors leading toward the Mississippi border.
