About this map

The St Louis - San Francisco Railroad corridor anchors the settlement of Huxford in this 1960 survey, illustrating the vital link between rail transport and the timber and agricultural industries of southern Alabama. The landscape is characterized by a mix of state-managed lands and family-owned parcels, with the Little River State Forest and the Edward Hauss State Forest Nursery indicating the region's long-term commitment to forest management. To the south, the extensive grounds of the Atmore State Prison Farm represent a significant institutional presence in the Escambia County countryside.

Local life revolves around rural landmarks like Huxford Ch, Sardis Ch, and Pleasant Grove Ch, alongside the Miller Cem. The terrain is drained by several seasonal and permanent waterways, including Chitterling Creek and Wet Weather Creek, while industrial activity is noted at the Gravel Pit and Claypit. Communication and fire safety are represented by the Radio Tower and the Huxford Lookout Tower, key pieces of mid-century infrastructure.
