1953 Map of Dothan

About this map

Albany and Dothan anchor this mid-century regional survey, which illustrates the intersection of the Wiregrass region and the Chattahoochee River valley. The landscape is defined by the recently created Walter F George Reservoir, a massive impoundment of the Chattahoochee River that transformed the border between Alabama and Georgia. To the west, the sprawling Fort Rucker Military Reservation and the Turner AFB near Albany reflect the significant Cold War military footprint in the deep south.
