2020 Map of Ragland

About this map

Logan Martin Lake dominates the southern landscape of this survey, where its expansive waters meet the historical geography of Riverside and Lincoln. The Coosa River's complex path is marked by dramatic river features like Embry Bend and Kirkseys Bend, while the northern terrain rises toward Henderson Mtn and Mitchell Mtn. This area, situated at the meeting of St. Clair, Calhoun, and Talladega counties, preserves numerous ancestral sites including Mitchell Cem, Box Cem, and Wester Cem. From the small settlement of Fairview down to the Broken Arrow Shoals, the map documents a transition from upland ridges to the modern reservoir system. Traces of older land use remain visible through names like Starvation Valley and the winding course of No Business Cr, offering a detailed view of the region's topography and settlement patterns.
