About this map

Logan Martin Lake dominates this landscape along the border of St. Clair and Talladega counties, its expansive waters surrounding prominent landforms like England Isles and Ogletree Island. The settlement of Riverside occupies the northern shoreline, where the John Hollis Bankhead Bridge facilitates transit across the reservoir. For those tracing family histories in the area, the map preserves the locations of several small burial grounds, including the Walkers Family Cem near Walkers Crossing Rd and the McCellan Cem situated on the peninsula south of Eastland Hill.

Transportation infrastructure defines the modern development of the region, from the St Clair County Airport on the outskirts of Pell City to the secondary crossings like the Eureka Bridge. The eastern portion of the sheet transitions toward Lincoln, while the southern reaches near Stemley are marked by the intricate inlets of the lake. This topography illustrates the profound impact of the Coosa River impoundment on local geography, creating a complex shoreline that replaced earlier terrestrial routes like Truss Ferry Rd.
