1971 Map of Dixie

About this map

The Conecuh River meanders across the landscape of southern Alabama, defining the boundary between Conecuh, Escambia, and Covington counties as it appeared in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The southern portion of this area is dominated by the Conecuh National Forest, where the small settlement of Dixie and the Dixie Lookout Tower stand near the headwaters of Bear Head Creek. The map reveals a rural community deeply tied to its local landmarks, with numerous family and church-affiliated burial grounds such as Welfare Cem, Feagin Cem, and Mason Cem scattered throughout the piney woods.
