About this map

Big Creek Lake dominates the central landscape of this western Mobile County region, providing a significant water resource and a focal point for the surrounding geography. To the east, the community of Semmes serves as a primary hub, while smaller named settlements like Wilmer, Fairview, Warley, and Lott are scattered across the terrain. The area is marked by a dense network of local roads and creek systems, including Big Cr, Red Cr, and Juniper Cr.

Genealogists will find a wealth of family history preserved in the numerous cemeteries throughout the quadrangle, such as Allentown Cem, Stringfellow Cem, and Morris Cem. The presence of Grimes Field and the residential layout of Churchill Downs indicate the varied land use between agricultural heritage and suburban growth. The map reflects a transition between the established crossroads communities and the expanding footprint of the Gulf Coast hinterland.
