About this map

Conecuh National Forest dominates the southern landscape of this 1971 survey, where the small community of Dixie and the settlement of Rome provide focal points for local history. The map documents a rural network of churches and family burial grounds, including the Mobley Creek Cem Ch, Feagin Cem, and Smith Cem, offering valuable data for genealogical research.

Waterways like the Conecuh River wind through the terrain, joined by smaller tributaries such as Douglas Mill Creek and Bear Head Creek. The presence of an Old RR Grade cutting through the center of the sheet indicates the area's older transportation and timber patterns. Forestry management is further represented by the Dixie Lookout Tower, positioned to monitor the dense woodlands that characterize this border region between Escambia, Conecuh, and Covington counties.
