1947 Map of Riverside

About this map

The Coosa River serves as the central artery for this landscape on the border of St. Clair and Talladega Counties, showing the evolution of the river valley through the mid-20th century. Based on 1946 aerial photography with 1970s revisions, the map documents the expansion of Logan Martin Lake and its impact on the surrounding geography, including the creation of Ogletree Island. The settlement of Riverside sits prominently along the Southern railroad line, which traverses the northern section of the sheet.
