2020 Map of Sims Chapel

About this map

Sims Chapel and the outskirts of Citronelle define this portion of the Alabama coastal plain along the Washington Co Mobile Co line. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of small watercourses, including Poll Bayou, Bilbo Br, and Crane Pond Br, which drain the low-lying terrain. For genealogists and local historians, the map provides precise locations for several community burial grounds such as Sims Chapel Cem, Red Wash Cem, and Charity Chapel Cem. Land use patterns are shaped by timber and water resources, evidenced by the Tensaw Land and Timber Co Pond and Best Pond. A web of rural routes like Lewis Simpson Rd and Wilmer Reid Rd connects these scattered settlements and homesteads, illustrating the enduring rural character of this southern Alabama region.
