Alabama 52 begins its southeastern Alabama journey southwest of the Geneva County seat of Geneva (pop. 4,388). The highway begins as Okaloosa County 185 (former Florida 185) to the northeast of De Funiak Springs, Florida. From there a five mile routing to Alabama 196 bring the state highway into Geneva. Alabama 52 continues from that community eastward to Hartford (pop. 2,369), Slocomb (pop. 2,052), and Malvern (pop. 1,215) before arriving at the Dothan belt line. A four mile stretch from near the Geneva/Houston County line to U.S. 231 is now four-laned. At Dothan the highway bypasses the city to the south, departing to Webb (pop. 1,298) and the Georgia state line near Columbia (pop. 804). Counties: Geneva, Houston
| The western terminus of Alabama 52 in downtown Opp at U.S. 331. Traffic turning onto U.S. 331 northbound will encounter U.S. 84 in a short distance as the two highways overlap through downtown. Photo taken 11/25/01.

Alabama 66 acts as a connector between Alabama 28 and 5 between Consul and Safford. The route totals a scant nine miles, and serves as part of a greater route between Linden and Selma.
Counties: Marengo, Dallas
| An end shield is posted at the eastern terminus with Alabama 22 in the village of Safford. Traffic turning to the left (east), will intersect the eastbound beginning of Alabama 22 in one mile.

Southern terminus can be found at Alabama 117 in downtown Jackson (pop. 5419), the county seat for Clarke County.

Counties: Clarke, Marengo, Hale, Tuscaloosa, Walker, Cullman, Marshall
| The southern terminus of Alabama 69 occurs at Alabama 117 (former U.S. 43) just north of downtown Jackson. Jackson is a larger town in southwestern Alabama, with a pervasive street grid. The downtown core however, appears to be on the proverbial financial straights, as most rural area towns in Alabama are. However, industrial areas to the south and southeast of downtown are
offering promising hope, with an overall widening of Alabama 117 a result of the increasing business and associated trucking traffic. Photo taken 02/10/02.

with Alabama 17 in the community of Jachin. An end shield is in place for the otherwise rural junction. Just north of this
intersection on Alabama 17 is Choctaw County 32, an east-west road that continues westward to Alabama 10 near
the Mississippi State line. These two routes give an alternate path to Linden, the Marengo County seat, from
the west. Photo taken 08/10/02.

Elmore County. Counties: Macon, Elmore
| First northbound Alabama 229 shield, just past the Interstate 85 interchange for Exit 26. The primary function of the 21 mile state highway is to connect the Interstate with Tallassee. Similar to Alabama 49, the state highway ends at an Interstate. The is a standard practice in the state of Alabama, with Alabama 113 terminating at Interstate 65 in Escambia County as another example. Photo taken 04/21/01.

263. Here Alabama 185 turns from the northeast to the southeast, traveling to Interstate 65 Exit 130 and
the Butler Couny seat of Greenville. To the north Alabama 185 reaches Fort Deposit (pop. 1,270) in ten miles.
