About this map

Wadley stands at the southern edge of this Randolph County landscape, situated where the Tallapoosa River winds through the Piedmont terrain. The town serves as a focal point for the region, anchored by the campus of Southern Union State Community College and College Lake. The river's path is marked by distinctive landforms like Hodge Island and Price Island, while numerous tributaries such as Cornhouse Creek and Beaverdam Cr cut through the surrounding hills.

Historically significant for genealogists, the map reveals a dense network of family-named landmarks and rural congregations. Small communities like Malone, Louina, and Swan Hill are connected by a web of county roads. The spiritual and ancestral record of the area is preserved in sites like Forester Chapel and several local burial grounds, including Knight Cem, Antioch Cem, and Pleasant Hill Cem, reflecting the deep-seated settlement patterns of eastern Alabama.
