2020 Map of Ofelia

About this map

R L Harris Reservoir dominates the landscape of western Randolph County, its winding fingers filling the valleys once carved by the Tallapoosa River and its many tributaries. This 2020 survey illustrates the modern topography of the area, where water now covers historic crossings like Island Ford Bridge and Overton Bridge. On the eastern shore, the terrain rises toward Cockrell Mtn, overlooking the settlement of Wedowee. The map serves as a vital record for genealogists, as it identifies several established burial grounds including Pleasant Hill Cem, Shake Rag Cem, and Boozer Cem. While the reservoir has transformed the local geography, smaller communities such as Ofelia and Swagg remain positioned along the county roads, maintaining the rural character of this Alabama hill country.
