About this map

The Coosa River defines the landscape of this region, with its waters widening into the expansive Logan Martin Lake. This survey illustrates the intricate relationship between the river and the various settlements along its banks, including Riverside, Seddon, and Stemley. The topography is marked by significant crossings such as the John Hollis Bankhead Bridge and the Eureka Bridge, which connect the communities divided by the water. To the east, Ragland Mtn rises above Howells Cove, providing a distinct contrast to the low-lying riverbanks.

Local history is preserved in numerous family and community landmarks, particularly the many small burial grounds such as Walkers Family Cem, Seddon Cem, and Mays Cem. These sites, along with the Robert Chapel Cem and Limbaugh Chapel, serve as vital links to the families who settled this part of Alabama. The map also documents the modern infrastructure of St Clair County Airport and the smaller residential developments like Wendy Wood and Pleasant Grove.
