2020 Map of Gadsden West

About this map

Attalla and the industrial corridors of Alabama City define the landscape at the southern end of this survey, where the dense grid of Gadsden meets the rising terrain of Lookout Mountain. This area is a critical junction for regional infrastructure, featuring the Etowah County Judicial Building and numerous community landmarks. The valley floor is shaped by Big Wills Creek and Little Wills Creek, which carve through the ridges toward the Tennessee Valley Divide in the north. This 2020 record of the region captures the complex topography of Moragne Mtn and Shinbone Ridge, juxtaposed against established neighborhoods like Bellevue and Walnut Park. Genealogists will find several burial sites well-documented, from the Alabama City Cem to smaller family plots such as Cox Cem and Butler Cem, reflecting generations of settlement along the valley's slopes.
