2024 Map of Semmes

About this map

Big Creek Lake dominates the central landscape of this western Mobile County region, where the tributaries of Big Creek and Crooked Creek converge. The area displays a transition from the established community of Semmes in the southeast to smaller settlements like Warley, Wilmer, and Millertown further west and north. Local history is deeply embedded in the land through family-named burial grounds including Ford Cem, Stringfellow Cem, and Morris Cem. In the southern portion of the map, Grimes Field and the surrounding road network, including Howells Ferry Rd, indicate the historical transit patterns between rural homesteads and the growing suburban reach of the county. The map also documents local faith centers such as Semmes First Baptist and the Chapel of Praise near the Red Creek drainage.
