About this map

The confluence of the East Fork and the West Fork Choctawhatchee River anchors this landscape, where the agricultural uplands of Dale County transition into the northern reaches of Fort Rucker. Small rural settlements like Ewell and Mabson are connected by a network of local roads and the Seaboard Coast Line railroad, reflecting a mid-century economy built on transit and land cultivation.

Genealogists and local historians can trace numerous country churches and family burial grounds, including Chalk Head Ch, Spring Hill Ch, and the Woodham Cem. Near the city limits of Ozark, the map captures the community's social hubs of the era, from the Ozark Country Club and Golf Course to the Drive-In Theater. Military activity is evident at the southern edge, with Hunt Field and Blackwell Field situated within the reservation boundaries.
