About this map

Logan Martin Lake dominates this Alabama landscape at the intersection of St. Clair, Talladega, and Shelby Counties. The intricate shoreline of the reservoir creates numerous peninsulas and islands, including Treasure Island, Merkl Island, and Grissom Island, where residential developments like Alpine Bay have emerged. The map documents the persistent rural character of the region beyond the waterfront, where several small settlements and crossroads communities such as Briarfield, Laniers, and Feddisburg are situated.

Genealogical interest is supported by the location of several historical burial grounds, including Mt Pisgah Cem and Hubbard Cem, alongside local landmarks like Kings Chapel. Further south, the map captures the northern reaches of Lay Lake on the Coosa River near Vincent. This terrain is characterized by prominent elevations like Stracener Mtn and Norman Mtn, which frame the valleys and watercourses that have historically shaped local transportation and settlement patterns.
