About this map

The city of Dothan anchors the northwestern corner of this survey, showcasing a period of expansion with features like the Drive-in Theater, several radio towers, and the Crippled Children Clinic. The landscape is dominated by the industrial and transport arteries of the Georgia Coast Line and Seaboard Coast Line railroads, which linked the agricultural and residential outposts of Cowarts, Avon, and Ashford.

Beyond the urban core, the map reveals a network of small rural communities and institutions, including Smyrna, Enon, and Wilson Quarters. Researchers will find numerous local landmarks such as St Marys Sch, Memphis Ch, and Cowarts Creek Ch. The geography is defined by a series of ponds and creeks, most notably Green Valley Farm Ponds, Pine Lake, and the winding course of Cowarts Creek, illustrating the drainage patterns that shaped local development in Houston County.
