1953 Map of Kushla

About this map

The Gulf Mobile and Ohio railroad corridor anchors this mid-century look at the communities north of Mobile, including the settlements of Mauvilla and Kushla. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Chickasaw Creek and a dense network of smaller waterways like Williams Creek and Silver Creek. This map reflects a period of established rural community life, marked by numerous local landmarks such as Mt Pilgrim Ch, St Johns Chapel, and Indian Springs Ch. Evidence of local industry and infrastructure appears in the Sand Pit near Seabury and the long Pipe Line crossing the terrain. The inclusion of several family and community resting places, such as Smithtown Cem and Mauvilla Cem, provides essential data for those researching local lineage and settlement patterns during this era.
