1891 Map of Clanton

About this map

The Coosa River forms the eastern edge of this late nineteenth-century landscape, characterized by the rugged shoals and early river crossings that preceded modern impoundments. Significant features along this waterway include Butting Ram Shoals and the historic Adam's Ferry, alongside several named islands like Cedar Id. and Rock Id. inland, the growth of Clanton and Jemison is closely tied to the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, which snakes through the central hills.
