1950 Map of Ozark

About this map

Ozark serves as the focal point for this mid-century portrait of Dale County, appearing at a time of significant military expansion. The sprawling Camp Rucker installation dominates the western and southern reaches of the map, featuring the Ozark Airfield and numerous administrative and training zones. In contrast to the rising military footprint, the landscape remains dotted with traditional rural markers, from the Marley Millpond and Faulks Mill to a dense network of local houses of worship such as Claybank Church and Salem Cemetery Church.
