2018 Map of Glencoe

About this map

Glencoe and Gadsden define this Etowah County landscape, where the Coosa River bends sharply around Keeling Island and Whorton Bend. The terrain transitions from the developed corridors of E Meighan Blvd and the Gadsden State Community College Wallace Drive Campus into the prominent ridges of Colvin Mtn and Greens Creek Mtn. Small communities like Keysburg, Cobb City, and Colwell are situated along the historic routes of Old US Hwy 431 and Old Anniston Gadsden Hwy. Local history is anchored by sites such as Pine Grove Cem and Crestwood Memorial Cem, while the natural topography is marked by distinct passages through the highlands, including Davis Gap and Alexander Gap. The southern portion of the sheet shows the headwaters of Ohatchee Creek winding through Burns Valley.
