About this map

Spring Hill stands as a focal point of West Mobile, characterized by the prominent campuses of Spring Hill College Byrne and the University of South Alabama. The landscape is a dense suburban weave of mid-century and modern subdivisions, from Acropolis Heights in the north to Canterbury Heights in the south. This area is notably rich in memorial sites, including the Old Spring Hill Cemetery, the Jesuit Cemetery, and the Newell Family Cemetery, reflecting the long-established residential character of the community.

Water management and local industry are evidenced by the Bienville Reservoir and specialized facilities like the Spring Hill State Fish Hatchery and Kimbrough Fish Hatchery. The natural hydrology is defined by the headwaters of several coastal plain streams, such as Threemile Creek and Eightmile Creek, which have shaped the development of neighborhoods like Forest Hill and Glen Acres. The map reveals a transition from these established residential blocks to commercial centers near the Plaza de Malaga Post Office.
