1950 Map of Enterprise

About this map

The Enterprise city center anchor this mid-century portrait of Coffee and Dale counties, showing a landscape defined by small agrarian crossroads and the significant expansion of the Camp Rucker Military Reservation. In the years following the war, the region maintains its rural character through a dense network of country churches and schools like Old Tabernacle Church and Rocky Head School. The Atlantic Coast Line railroad cuts across the terrain, connecting New Brockton to the larger hub at Enterprise and facilitating the local economy. Settlement patterns are concentrated at historic junctions such as Battens Crossroads and Turner Crossroads, while the Pea River and its various tributaries like Double Bridges Creek provide the natural drainage for the rolling Southeast Alabama territory. This document captures the footprint of community life before the era of major highway expansion, preserving the exact locations of family cemeteries and local landmarks like the Municipal Airport.
