About this map

Goodman and Battens Crossroads anchor this rural Coffee County landscape, which was meticulously field-checked just before the mid-century's end. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Double Bridges Creek and its many tributaries like Whisky Branch and Blanket Creek. A mix of spiritual and community life is evident in the dense distribution of country churches, including Morning Star Ch and Pleasant Ridge Ch, which sit alongside family-named landmarks like Wooten Chapel.

Modernization is visible on the eastern edge near the Enterprise Municipal Airport and along the Atlantic Coast Line railroad. Of particular interest to genealogists and local historians are the numerous cemeteries and churches, such as Mt Calvary Cem and Asbury Ch, which dot the hillsides between small farms and a local Drive-in Theater. This 1960 update to the original 1940s survey reveals a landscape in transition, where old crossroads like Turner Crossroads remain vital landmarks amidst emerging infrastructure like the local Radio Tower.
