About this map

Geneva State Forest dominates the northeastern landscape of this South Alabama quadrangle, bordering the line between Covington and Geneva counties. The map documents a predominantly rural and forested region in the late 1960s, punctuated by small community centers like Hacoda, Roberts, and Howells. The transportation history of the area is visible through the Old Railroad Grade that cuts diagonally across the terrain, indicating a shift from rail-based industry to the road networks of the mid-20th century.

Water plays a central role in the local geography, from the larger Flat Creek and Eightmile Creek to numerous smaller features like Panther Creek and Finks Millpond. Cultural landmarks such as Smyrna Ch, Chapel Hill Ch, and the Flat Creek Cemetery provide essential reference points for genealogists tracing family roots in this corner of the state. Other specialized sites, including Camp Victory and a secluded Landing Strip, further illustrate the varied land use of the era.
