About this map

The Tallapoosa River carves a winding path through this corner of Randolph County, defining the landscape around Wadley and the surrounding rural communities. The river's course is punctuated by Hodge Island and Price Island, while its many tributaries like Cornhouse Creek and No Business Cr drain the complex network of ridges. Near the southern edge of the map, Southern Union State Community College stands as a prominent institution in Wadley, adjacent to College Lake.

For genealogists and local historians, this survey preserves a dense record of family and community landmarks. Numerous burial grounds are documented across the terrain, including Knight Cem, Gay Cem, and Malone Cem near the settlement of Malone. The distribution of these sites, alongside houses of worship like Forester Chapel, reflects the established settlement patterns of East Alabama in the modern era.
