2024 Map of Kushla

About this map

Chickasaw Creek snakes through this portion of Mobile County, defining a landscape where rural settlements meet the expanding suburban fringes. The area features several distinct communities including Mauvilla, Kushla, and Smithtown, each connected by a network of historic routes like Old Citronelle Hwy and Kushla Station Rd. Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous burial grounds documented here, from Mauvilla Cem and Indian Springs Cem to the Valhalla Gardens Cem. The southern reach of the map shows the transition into more densely populated areas near Saraland and Prichard, while the presence of the University of Mobile near Seabury Creek highlights the local educational infrastructure. The terrain is characterized by a dense web of waterways, including Williams Creek, Magee Creek, and Rocky Run, which have historically influenced the settlement patterns of these coastal plain communities.
