About this map

Theodore and Tillmans Corner anchor this coastal Alabama landscape, where the suburban expansion of Mobile meets the low-lying wetlands of the Gulf Coast. The map reveals a transition from dense residential and commercial corridors, such as those along Government Blvd and Theodore Dawes Rd, to the intricate bayous and creeks that define the regional hydrology. To the east, Rattlesnake Bayou and Alligator Bayou wind toward Hollingers Island, while Rabbit Creek and the Fowl River drain the central and southern reaches.

Local history is preserved in several significant sites, including the Morning Star Missionary Baptist Church Cem near Lloyds and the sprawling Mobile Memorial Gardens Cem. The southern portion of the quadrangle shows the smaller communities of Irvington, Saint Elmo, and Laurendine, situated among a network of rural routes like Padgett Switch Rd and Boe Rd. The inclusion of the Mobile Gray Hound Park serves as a distinct cultural landmark of the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
