About this map

Margaret and Odenville anchor this 2011 survey of St. Clair County, showcasing a landscape defined by ridgelines and man-made impoundments. The area's coal-mining heritage is subtly evident in place names like Coal Mountain, while the local social fabric is traced through legacy burial sites such as Macedonia Cemetery and the Austin Olds Cemetery. Small residential clusters like Turnbough Town and Crockertown are situated along the winding corridors of Big Black Creek and Beaver Creek, reflecting the historical settlement patterns of the Alabama hills.

The topography is remarkably varied, featuring prominent heights like Simmons Mountain and the steep Watkins Cut. A network of dams, including the Trucks Dam and Riddle Dam, has created numerous small bodies of water like Trucks Lake and Lake Riddle, which dot the terrain between Pine Ridge and Anderson Mountain. This concentration of small-scale water management suggests a transition from earlier industrial use to the residential and recreational character seen in Shady Acres and Lazy V Lake Acres.
