1953 Map of Spring Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

The western suburbs of Mobile are captured here in a period of significant mid-century expansion, centered on the campus of Spring Hill College and the growing University of South Alabama. To the west, Bates Field serves as a major aviation landmark, while the surrounding landscape transitions from organized residential developments like Country Club Village and Jackson Heights into more rural creek valleys. These waterways, including Threemile Creek and Twelvemile Creek, carve through the terrain, historically shaping the layout of early routes like the Old Spanish Trail. Local infrastructure is well-defined, ranging from the Mobile Waterworks and Blenville Reservoir to specialized facilities such as the State Fish Hatchery and County Sanitarium. The map also documents numerous neighborhood institutions, including Vincent Chapel, New Hope Ch, and Cottage Hill Sch, providing a detailed record of the community's social and educational geography during this era.
