About this map

Fort Rucker U S Military Reservation occupies a massive portion of this landscape, creating a distinct boundary between the managed military lands and the surrounding rural communities of Coffee and Dale Counties. This survey reflects a period of modernization, where several Landing Strip locations appear alongside older landmarks of the agricultural South. The terrain is defined by a dense network of waterways, including Kiser Mill Creek and Steep Head Creek, which historically supported local industry and travel.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of rural spiritual life, with the presence of Mt Bethel Ch, Old Tabernacle Ch, and Wesley Chapel. Each of these sites is accompanied by its respective burial grounds, such as Mt Bethel Ch Cem and Wesley Chapel Cem, providing a clear record of established family settlements near the military perimeter. A Lookout Tower standing over the undulating landscape highlights the region's 20th-century focus on forest and resource management.
