Industrial expansion and military operations define the landscape of eastern Alabama following World War II. The sprawling Gadsden Ordnance Plant and the Specialized Depot 889th AF sit just north of Glencoe, highlighting the region's significant role in defense and manufacturing. To the north, Camp Gadsden is situated near the Coosa River, which snakes through the territory and creates distinct peninsulas like Tidmore Bend and Horton Bend.
