1953 Map of Kushla

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Kushla and Mauvilla anchor this topographic view of northwestern Mobile County, appearing as small railside and crossroads settlements in the early 1950s. The Gulf Mobile and Ohio Railroad runs diagonally through the landscape, serving as a primary corridor through Mauvilla and Kushla towards the Chickasaw Creek basin. Numerous rural congregations dot the terrain, including Mt Pilgrim Ch, Mt Olive Ch, and St Johns Chapel, indicating a dispersed but socially connected community. The drainage patterns are defined by Williams Creek and Silver Creek, which flow through wooded areas increasingly punctuated by the expansion of utilities, such as the prominent Pipe Line corridor and infrastructure like the Indian Springs Dam. Local industry is represented by the Sand Pit near Indian Springs Ch, while residential growth is visible along Lott Road and Moffat Road.
