About this map

The Coosa River anchors this study of the Etowah County landscape, carving a path through a region defined by its historic river crossings and industrial infrastructure. The presence of Listers Ferry, Gilberts Ferry, and McCardney Ferry speaks to a time when river transport dictated the movement of goods and people, even as modern developments like the Northeast Alabama Regional Airport and the expansive Rainbow Industrial Blvd reflect more recent economic shifts.

Settlement patterns vary from the established streets of Attalla and Gadsden in the north to the quieter neighborhoods of Clubview Heights and Morgans Crossroads. For those tracing family histories, several burial grounds are preserved across the terrain, including the Old Harmony Cem, Dunaway Cem, and the Lee Family Cem. The natural topography is marked by significant elevations like Dunaway Mtn and Hensley Mtn, which overlook the complex water system comprising Big Wills Creek, H Neely Henry Lake, and Permans Lake.
