The whole north section of the property is cornered with Halls Mill Creek. Just to give you an idea of where it is located at, it is between Cottage Hill Road and Three Notch-Kroner Road. The middle hole is the middle of the property. This is a survey of the north end of the property. Mobile Area Water and Sewer System (MAWSS) has the very top section and half mile of the property. They are supplying utilities. There is some sort of conduit that dips down into where the creek is at. I do not know what that is to. I have not read the information on it yet. This is the information I have obtained from the County. It is a flood way. If you notice how it widens out as soon as it crosses the street there, it is because the construction material that has gotten away from construction sites in the past have made its way to this creek.
