About this map

The eastern suburbs and agricultural fringes of Dothan are documented here during a period of modern expansion. In the early 21st century, the landscape is defined by the transition from city infrastructure, such as the City of Dothan Sanitary Landfill, to the smaller surrounding communities of Cowarts, Avon, and Enon. The area is notably dense with small family or community burying grounds, including Memphis Cemetery, Mount Pleasant Cemetery, and the Hurts Chapel Cemetery.

Water management and agriculture are prominent features of the terrain, with numerous man-made bodies of water like Green Valley Farm Ponds, Wilsons Lake, and Jessie Forrester Lake dotting the landscape. The hydrology is centered on Cowarts Creek and Webb Creek, which drain the rolling lands between the smaller residential clusters of Smyrna, Forest Park, and Wilson Quarters. This record captures the intricate network of county roads and local avenues that stitch together these historic settlements as they integrate with the growing regional medical and municipal hubs.
