About this map

Goodwater serves as the focal point of this Coosa County landscape at the turn of the 21st century, where the Central of Georgia railroad line cuts through the center of town. The area is characterized by the winding path of Hatchet Creek and its many tributaries, including Wildcat Creek and Partridge Creek. Local community life is anchored by several rural landmarks such as Haynes Chapel, Smyrna Ch, and the Goodwater Academy.

Evidence of local industry and infrastructure is visible in the Water Filtration Plant, a Quarry in the southwest, and the County Airport north of town. The map details a transition between agricultural land and protected wilderness, with the Talladega National Forest and Hollins Wildlife Management Area occupying the northern reaches. For genealogists, the inclusion of sites like Crestview Memorial Cem and outlying settlements like Skeggs Crossroads provides specific points for tracing family history.
