About this unit
AI-compiled · sourcedHouston County anchors the SE Alabama Wiregrass with nearly flat, highly productive agricultural soils supporting peanuts, cotton, and row crops around the Dothan metro area. Whitetail deer use planted pine corridors and hardwood creek bottoms as refuge within the open agricultural landscape. Dove hunting on harvested peanut fields is a beloved regional tradition that kicks off the Alabama hunting season each September.
