1962 Map of Enterprise NE

About this map

The Army Map Service documents a transition in the landscape of Coffee and Dale Counties as agrarian landmarks are absorbed by the Fort Rucker Military Reservation. Rural life is still visible through the presence of El Bethel Church, Old Tabernacle Church, and Wesley Chapel, alongside the family-named Ebenezer Cemetery. This 1962 edition highlights the intensification of military training infrastructure, with numerous specialized sites such as the 1000 Inch Firing Range, the Malone Firing Range, and the Helicopter ammunition loading area. The terrain is defined by a dense network of waterways, including Harris Mill (Bowles) Creek and Blocks Mill Creek, which cut through the restricted impact areas. A fire tower and various ruins suggest the older footprint of the area before its conversion to a permanent military installation.
