About this map

The Fort Rucker Military Reservation dominates this 1960 landscape, illustrating the significant mid-century military infrastructure in Dale County. The map details the complex layout of Fort Rucker, including specialized aviation facilities like Hanchey Heliport, Lowe Airfield, and various Landing Strips. Adjacent to the base, the town of Daleville serves as a civilian hub along the Atlantic Coast Line railroad.

Away from the military activity, the terrain is defined by the winding Choctawhatchee River and its tributaries, such as Claybank Creek and Brooks Mill Creek. Local rural life is evidenced by a network of community landmarks, including New Summerhill Ch, Moores Chapel, and Bethel Ch. The survey also captures small settlements like Kelly and Five Points, providing a detailed view of the regional geography before later decades of development.
