2020 Map of Hurricane

About this map

The Mobile River and Tensaw River dominate this landscape where the boundaries of Mobile and Baldwin counties meet. This intricate delta system is characterized by a complex network of waterways, including Chuckfee Bay, Grand Bay, and the winding Raft River. Small islands such as Gravine Island and Twelvemile Island sit among a labyrinth of bayous like Big Bayou Canot and Chicory Bayou. To the west, the settlement of Creola borders the wetlands, while the eastern bluffs host Stony Hill and Hurricane. Family and community history is anchored by several sites, including Miller Cem and Wilkins Cem, located along the more elevated terrain of the eastern shore. The map illustrates the sharp contrast between the uninhabited marshland of the river forks and the developing residential roads near Stony Hill Creek.
