The western suburbs of Mobile transition from the dense residential developments of Spring Hill and Country Club Village into the sprawling institutional campus of the Univ of South Alabama. This 2018 survey documents a modern landscape deeply connected to its hydrological history, where Threemile Creek feeds the Bienville Reservoir and numerous smaller branches like Eslava Cr and Twelvemile Cr snake through established neighborhoods. For genealogists, the map is particularly detailed, identifying several smaller burial grounds such as the Sand Town Cem, Wolf Ridge Cem, and the Newell Family Cem on the northern periphery near Eightmile Cr. The western edge is dominated by the Mobile Regional Airport, marking the city's modern westward expansion along the historic Old Shell Rd and Government St Co Rd 56 corridors.
