About this map

Riverside and Lincoln occupy the southern reaches of this survey, where the Coosa River broadens into the expansive Logan Martin Lake. The landscape is defined by the river's winding path through the Alabama countryside, creating distinctive features such as Embry Bend and Kirkseys Bend. To the north, the terrain rises toward Henderson Mtn and Mitchell Mtn, with Starvation Valley tucked between the ridges. The settlement of Ragland is positioned near the northeastern corner, surrounded by smaller watercourses like Trout Cr and Green Br.

For genealogists and local historians, the map identifies numerous burial sites, including Old Mitchell Cem and Garden of Memories Cem. The road network connects older settlements like Fairview to the more developed corridors near the river, following historic routes such as Old Ashville Rd and Popes Chapel Rd. The transition from the high ground of the mountains to the river shoals at Broken Arrow Shoals illustrates the varied topography of this region spanning St. Clair, Calhoun, and Talladega counties.
