About this map

Cohobadiah Creek and the Little Tallapoosa River define the landscape of eastern Randolph County, where a network of rural communities remains connected by winding county roads. The settlement of Newell serves as a central point, marked by the Newell Post Office and nearby Antioch Cemetery. The distribution of family and community burial grounds, such as Williams Cemetery near Smyrna and the Rice Cemetery further east, suggests a long-standing pattern of dispersed agrarian settlement typical of the Alabama Piedmont.

Industry and local infrastructure are represented by features like Butlers Mill on the river and the Nelson Dam forming Nelson Lake to the southwest. From the crossroads at Morrison Crossroad to the small clusters at Lamar and Gold Ridge, the map provides a detailed view of the small-scale landmarks that anchor local heritage, including named bridges and numerous branches feeding the main waterways.
