About this map

Headland serves as a central hub in this corner of Henry and Houston Counties, surrounded by a network of smaller communities including Southgate, Kinsey, and Webb. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of numerous waterways, where Little Omusee Creek and White Branch carve through the agricultural and residential transition north of Dothan. Local history is deeply etched into the land through its many burial grounds, ranging from the East Side Cemetery and West Side Cemetery in the city center to the more remote Bethlehem Cemetery and Poplar Spring Cemetery near the county lines.

Institutional and recreational sites are prominent, including the Headland Municipal Airport and the Dothan Area Botanical Gardens. The southern portion of the map highlights the proximity to regional hubs via the Dothan Speedway, while the Webb Post Office remains a vital community fixture. Researchers can trace the drainage patterns of Beaver Creek and Golf Creek, which provide a natural structure to the rural landscape surrounding these established Alabama settlements.
