About this map

The western suburbs and rural outskirts of Dothan are captured here during a period of significant residential expansion. Residential developments like Whispering Pines, Sherwood Forest, and Green Acres contrast with older landmarks such as Tabernacle and Jones Crossroads. The landscape is a mix of established neighborhoods and agricultural land, where the National Peanut Festival Fairgrounds serves as a major cultural anchor in the southern portion of the quadrangle.

Water plays a central role in the topography, with Chipola Creek, Cypress Creek, and Big Creek draining the region, while man-made features like Wheelless Lake and the Dan Morris Lake Dam indicate local infrastructure. Genealogists will find a wealth of data in the numerous burial grounds, including the Dothan City Cemetery, Memory Hill Cemetery, and Selma Cemetery, which are preserved alongside newer recreational sites like the Water World and Westgate Recreational Complex.
