2018 Map of Sims Chapel

About this map

The community of Sims Chapel serves as the focal point of this southwestern Alabama landscape, situated along the northern reaches of the Washington Co Mobile Co line. This 2018 survey reveals a terrain defined by an intricate network of waterways, including the winding Poll Bayou, Cedar Cr, and Bates Cr, which drain the low-lying timberlands. For genealogists and local historians, the map is particularly valuable for its documentation of several family and community burial sites, including Charity Chapel Cem, Red Wash Cem, and Sawyer Cem. To the south, the northern outskirts of Citronelle appear, showing the transition from more established residential streets like Elizabeth St and Averett Ln to the expansive drainage basins and ponds, such as the Tensaw Land and Timber Co Pond, that characterize the regional land use.
