About this map

The Coosa River and Tallapoosa River converge in this central Alabama landscape, dominated by the reservoir waters of Mitchell Lake and Speigner Lake. The 2011 survey records the intersection of industrial water management and deep cultural history, with the Speigner Dam and Walter Bouldin Dam controlling the flow near the ancient Taskigi Mound. The topography is marked by several distinct residential clusters and rural crossroads, including Speigner, North Elmore, and the core settlement at Elmore, where the Elmore Post Office serves the local community.

Genealogists and local historians will find numerous family and community burial sites such as Ebenezer Cemetery, Thrasher Cemetery, and Bibbs Cemetery. The transportation network relies on corridors like Speigner Rd and Jordan Dam Rd, while aviation is centered at the Wetumpka Municipal Airport. This map details a landscape where water remains the primary geographical driver, from the Hurricane Branch in the north to Gun Island Chute in the south.
