About this map

The Choctawhatchee River cuts through this landscape of southeastern Alabama, defined by the convergence of its West Fork and East Fork near Newton. The Seaboard Coast Line railroad creates a vital corridor through the centers of Pinckard and Midland City, illustrating the rail-oriented growth of these small towns. To the northwest, the Fort Rucker Military Reservation occupies a significant portion of the terrain, while the southern reaches show the boundary between Dale and Houston counties.

Local life is anchored by a network of rural landmarks, including Mt Hebron Ch, Union Ch, and the Cedar Grove Ch Cem. Geologic and industrial activity is evident in several sand and borrow pits. The inclusion of family-named features like the William Grady Stembridge Bridge and the Woodham Cem provides specific points of interest for genealogists tracing regional roots during this era of mid-century development.
