2020 Map of Ohatchee

About this map

H Neely Henry Lake and the winding course of the Coosa River define the geography of this region where Etowah, St. Clair, and Calhoun Counties meet. The landscape is characterized by prominent ridges such as the Beaver Creek Mountains and the Shoal Creek Mountains, which hem in narrow valleys like Slash Ham Valley and Shoal Creek Valley. This modern survey reveals the contemporary footprint of established communities like Ohatchee, Southside, and Rainbow City, while also marking the location of long-standing local landmarks. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of numerous burial sites, including Ohatchee Cem, Ten Island Cem, and Ragan Chapel Cem. The map provides a detailed record of water features from Woods Island to the smaller Cochran Springs, alongside the complex network of county roads like Co Rd 26 that connect these dispersed settlements and rural homesteads.
