About this map

Malvern and the outskirts of Dothan anchor this corner of southeast Alabama, where the boundaries of Dale, Geneva, and Houston counties meet. The landscape is defined by a dense network of local roads and creek drainages that supported a longstanding agricultural and rural residential community. Water features such as Panther Creek, Bear Creek, and Newton Creek carve through the terrain, while man-made landmarks like Emmett Sellers Lake and Hosea Mathis Lake dot the central portion of the quadrangle.

Genealogists and local historians can trace several significant burial sites throughout the area, including Bay Springs Cemetery and Providence Cemetery. Small historic hubs like Wicksburg, Slocomb, and Bailey Crossroads show the distribution of settlements across the county lines. The transition from the rural roads near Hatband Creek to the more developed corridors near West Main Street provides a clear view of the region's mid-century expansion.
