1911 Map of Columbiana

The eastern boundary is marked by the winding Coosa River, featuring the Narrows and the historic Woods Ferry, which provided vital river access before modern bridge networks. Rural life is evidenced by a dense network of neighborhood landmarks, including the Summer Hill School and Kingdom Church, as well as numerous family-named landmarks like Locust Ridge and Kelley Mtn. This survey captures a landscape in transition, where old wagon roads like the Tuscaloosa Road meet the rapidly expanding iron and coal railways of the early twentieth century.
