The Dale County Map presents a countywide view of a southeastern Alabama county in the Wiregrass Region. Dale County lies within the coastal plain, about forty miles from both Georgia and Florida, and its location connects the Ozark area with communities near Fort Novosel, Dothan, and Enterprise. A county-level map makes these relationships easier to read than a statewide map where the local boundary appears much smaller.
This Dale County Map package contains three A3 JPG versions: Color, Black and White, and Outline. The two labeled versions show selected place names and surrounding counties, while the Outline version removes labels and color fills for custom marking. The featured graphic is assigned only as the WordPress featured image and does not appear inside the article body.

Dale County Map location in southeastern Alabama
Dale County borders Pike County and Barbour County to the north, Henry County to the east, Houston County and Geneva County to the south, and Coffee County to the west. Reading this six-county pattern on the Dale County Map shows how the county sits between Alabama’s interior Wiregrass communities and the broader routes leading toward Georgia and the Florida Panhandle.
Ozark is the county seat and one of the two largest cities in the county, together with Daleville. These places form important reference points around Fort Novosel, the U.S. Army installation formerly known as Fort Rucker. The Dale County Map is useful when explaining how Ozark, Daleville, and the military reservation relate to the surrounding county boundary without turning the page into a street-level road map.
U.S. Route 231 crosses the county on a northwest-to-southeast course and passes through the Ozark area. Although the downloadable maps are not designed as transportation maps, this corridor helps explain the county’s general orientation. On the Dale County Map, the long regional connection between central Alabama and the Dothan area provides useful geographic context for the selected labels.
The Choctawhatchee River and Wiregrass setting
The Choctawhatchee River forms part of the southern boundary of Dale County. Its East Fork and West Fork join near Ozark before the river continues toward Geneva County and eventually Florida. This river relationship gives the Dale County Map a recognizable southern geographic context, especially when the county is compared with Geneva and Houston counties below it.
Dale County is also part of Alabama’s Wiregrass Region, a coastal-plain area extending into southern Georgia and northern Florida. Longleaf pine landscapes and the historic wiregrass plant gave the region its name. The Dale County Map does not attempt to show every ecological feature, but the regional setting explains why the county is commonly grouped with Coffee, Geneva, Henry, Houston, Pike, and Barbour counties.
Selected places and countywide map scope
The labeled maps may include selected places such as Ozark, Daleville, Ariton, Midland City, Newton, and Pinckard. Closely spaced or smaller communities may be omitted so the A3 layout remains readable. The Dale County Map therefore works as a countywide location reference rather than a complete directory of every city, town, census-designated place, and unincorporated community.
Surrounding-county labels provide a second layer of orientation. Pike and Barbour establish the northern side, Henry defines the eastern relationship, Houston and Geneva frame the south, and Coffee County completes the western side. This surrounding pattern allows the Dale County Map to explain regional position without adding dense road, parcel, ZIP code, school district, or election-district information.
Color map with selected local labels
The Color version uses visual separation to distinguish selected internal areas while retaining the county outline, place labels, and neighboring-county names. In the Dale County Map color version, the labeled areas can be found quickly during a presentation or classroom discussion. The colors are visual aids only and do not represent population, zoning, election results, or a complete hierarchy of municipal governments.
Black and White map for printed documents
The Black and White version removes the color emphasis but keeps selected place names, the outer county boundary, internal lines, and surrounding-county labels. This Dale County Map version fits reports, assignments, handouts, and documents that need a consistent grayscale appearance. Without multiple fills competing for attention, the county’s border pattern and the placement of the selected labels remain easy to compare.
Outline map for coloring and custom notes
The Outline version contains no color fills, place-name labels, surrounding-county names, map title, or site name. It leaves the county outline and internal boundary lines as a clean base for annotations. A Dale County Map in this format can be colored by hand, numbered for a geography exercise, or marked with symbols for Ozark, Fort Novosel, and the Choctawhatchee River direction.
Choosing the right version for a project
The Color map is the quickest option for distinguishing selected areas, while the Black and White map is better suited to grayscale printing. The Outline map gives the most freedom for custom labels and symbols. Choosing among the three Dale County Map files depends on whether the priority is visual separation, document consistency, or direct annotation.
A geography assignment can use the map to identify the six bordering counties, while a regional report can place Dale County within the Wiregrass and coastal plain. Presentation slides may use the Dale County Map to explain the relationship among Ozark, Daleville, Fort Novosel, and the Choctawhatchee River. Each use keeps the county boundary central rather than treating the page as a detailed municipal atlas.
This map is designed for countywide reference, printing, classroom materials, presentations, and documents. For navigation, property, zoning, surveying, emergency response, or legal boundary decisions, use the appropriate official or specialized source. The Outline file is a JPG image, not an editable SVG, AI, or other vector format.
Download the three A3 JPG maps
The Dale County Map download includes three JPG files in Color, Black and White, and Outline formats. All three use an A3 printable layout and can be placed in classroom materials, reports, presentation slides, blog graphics, or custom annotation projects. The set is intended for countywide reference rather than a complete municipal or street directory.
