1957 Map of Tanner Williams

About this map

Big Creek Lake dominates the northern landscape of this Mobile County survey, its irregular shoreline formed by the flooding of Big Creek and its tributaries like Crooked Creek. The settlement of Tanner Williams sits to the west of the reservoir, serving as a focal point for local genealogy with the nearby Williams Cem and Tanner Cem. This era shows a transition in land use, where traditional rural life—marked by numerous country churches such as Allentown Ch and Pierce Ch—exists alongside mid-century infrastructure like the Radio Range Station and Bates Field.
