About this map

The Fort Rucker U. S. Military Reservation dominates this 1960 landscape, sprawling across the boundary between Coffee and Dale counties. This era of the installation's history is marked by several small airfields and a Lookout Tower, reflecting its role as a primary center for Army aviation training during the early 1960s. Beyond the military boundary, the rural character of the Alabama Wiregrass persists through small church communities like Tabernacle and Old Tabernacle Ch.

The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages, including Harris Mill Creek and Casey Mill Creek, which reveal the historical reliance on water power for local industry. Genealogical points of interest include Wesley Chapel and the adjacent Wesley Chapel Cem, providing clear spatial context for local families. The topographic detail captures the transition from working agricultural lands to the structured environment of the expanding military post.
