About this map

H Neely Henry Lake and the Coosa River dominate this portion of the Alabama landscape, framing the industrial and residential expansion south of Gadsden. The map documents the developed corridors of Rainbow City and Southside, where suburban growth meets the rugged elevations of Dunaway Mtn and Hensley Mtn. The Northeast Alabama Regional Airport stands as a significant landmark in the northern section, while smaller water bodies like Château Charolais Lake and Cardwell Lake are tucked into the residential fabric.

Local history is grounded in established community centers and burial grounds, including Old Harmony, Morgans Crossroads, and the Pilgrims Rest Cem. The boundary between Etowah Co and St Clair Co follows the natural topography near Hopewell Mtn, illustrating how the county lines were influenced by the physical geography of the valley. This survey provides a contemporary perspective on a region defined by its river-frontage and transit infrastructure.
