About this map

Coosa River meanders through this portion of Etowah County, creating a complex series of oxbows and landforms including Tidmore Bend, Alfords Bend, and Caddell Island. The industrial and residential expansion of Gadsden is evident in the south, where the Goodyear Lake and Ash Disposal Pond reflect the area's manufacturing heritage near East Gadsden and Glencoe.

Northward, the landscape shifts toward the high ridges of Lookout Mountain and Big Ridge, separated by the Daisy Gap. Small, historical communities like Turkeytown, Wilsonia, and Sonoma dot the slopes and valleys. Genealogists can find several established burial grounds, including Mount Pisgah Cem and Beth Israel Cem, while the Scenic Hwy and Old US Hwy 411 trace the region's transportation history across the ridges and river plains.
