About this map

The city of Opp serves as the focal point for this late 1960s survey, illustrating a landscape defined by the Seaboard Coast Line railroad and a dense network of country churches and schools. The map details the transition from the municipal center to outlying rural communities like Duvall, Blairs, and Alberton. Local landmarks such as the Drive-in Theater and Armory High Sch highlight the mid-century social infrastructure of the region.

Along the border between Covington and Coffee County, the terrain is carved by the East Fork Choctawhatchee River and numerous tributaries like Pages Creek and Cripple Creek. Cultural sites are frequent throughout the sheet, ranging from the Old Town Cem and Peaceful Acres Memorial Gardens to several eponymous houses of worship like Cool Springs Ch and New Chapel Ch. The inclusion of Skelly Field and the U S Mil Res indicates the area's multifaceted land use, from agriculture to aviation.
