1960 Map of Huxford

About this map

The settlement of Huxford serves as a central hub in this Escambia County landscape, situated at the intersection of a prominent Burlington Northern line and a long-standing railroad grade. The map illustrates a region balanced between state-managed conservation and agricultural industry, prominently featuring the Little River State Forest to the north and the sprawling Atmore State Prison Farm to the south. Local community landmarks are well-documented, including Huxford Church and the Huxford Lookout Tower. Genealogists will find value in the clear markings of Sardis Church Cemetery and Miller Cemetery. The hydrology of the area is defined by numerous drainage systems such as Chitterling Creek and Wet Weather Creek, while the Edward Hauss State Forest Nursery indicates the area's historical importance to Alabama forestry.
