About this map

The eastern edges of Dothan and the surrounding agricultural landscape of Houston County define this late-1960s survey. The map details the convergence of the Georgia of Central, Seaboard Coast Line, and the Atlanta and Saint Andrews Bay railroads, which facilitated the region’s growth. Beyond the city limits, smaller communities like Cowarts, Avon, and Ashford are joined by the rural settlement of Wilson Quarters.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, including Smyrna Ch, Piney Grove Ch, and Bluff Springs Ch, alongside several cemeteries such as Crestlawn Cem. The terrain is marked by numerous water bodies like Porters Lake and Ingram Lake, while specialized infrastructure such as the Crippled Children Clinic, Bakers Airport, and a Drive-in Theater reflects the mid-century development of this Alabama panhandle border region.
