2011 Map of Malvern

About this map

The Malvern Post Office anchors the southeastern corner of this corner of Houston County, set within a landscape shaped by rural crossroads and the winding tributaries of the Choctawhatchee River system. Settlement patterns center on distinct communities like Wicksburg and Bailey Crossroads, where a dense network of county roads connects family homesteads and local institutions. Water management is a defining characteristic of the terrain, evidenced by several private impoundments including the Emmett Sellers Dam and Pasco Davis Dam, which harness local branches like Gilley Mill Creek and Bear Creek. For those tracing local history, several burial grounds are scattered throughout the region, including Union Cemetery, Bay Springs Cemetery, and Purvis Cemetery. The map captures the transition of the area toward modern residential development while maintaining its established agricultural and hydrological footprint.
