2011 Map of Ragland

About this map

Ragland serves as the primary population center on this portion of the Coosa River, situated just north of the expansive Logan Martin Lake. The landscape is defined by the river’s winding path, forming prominent geographical features like Embry Bend and Kirkseys Bend. In the northern section, Henderson Mountain and Mitchell Mountain rise above the valley, while the river's flow is regulated at National Dam near National Lake. The settlement patterns here reflect a mix of established community centers and newer lakeside developments like Sherwood Shores. Local history is preserved in several burial grounds, including the Old Mitchell Cemetery and Box Cemetery, which are scattered throughout the hills. The presence of Old Mining Rd suggests the area's industrial past, likely linked to the quarries and mineral resources found near the ridge lines.
