About this map

The Atlantic Coast Line railroad and U.S. Highway 231 converge near the settlement of Ewell, providing a glimpse into the transportation network of Dale County in the early 1960s. The landscape is defined by the drainage of the West Fork Choctawhatchee River and its many tributaries, including Judy Creek and Klondike Creek.

Social and civic life is anchored by numerous rural congregations, such as Rocky Mt Church, Pleasant Grove Church, and Chalk Head Church. Local genealogy is well-represented through markers like the Friendship Church Cem and Woodham Cem. On the outskirts of Ozark, modern mid-century development is visible through the Ozark Municipal Airport, the Alabama National Guard Armory, and even a Drive-in Theatre, showing the expansion of the community during this era.
