About this map

Atmore and its surrounding Escambia County landscape are captured during a mid-century period of transition, where the established downtown core meets emerging municipal infrastructure. The town's grid is anchored by essential community landmarks like the A C Moore Sch and the County High Sch, while the Seaboard railroad line continues to influence the local economy. Beyond the urban center, the northern reaches are dominated by the Atmore State Prison Farm, a significant institutional footprint amidst the rural drainage basins of Sizemore Creek and Wet Weather Creek.

Tracing the outlying settlements reveals a network of smaller communities such as Martinville, Robinsonville, and Canoe, each linked by the Robinsonville Road and smaller rural tracks. Cultural markers like the Victory Ch and various family burial grounds, including Half Cem and Oak Hill Cemetery, provide valuable data for genealogical research. Industrial and recreation sites, from various Gravel Pits to a local Drag Strip, offer a look at the varied land use outside the main municipal bounds.
