2024 Map of Wadley North

About this map

The Tallapoosa River winds through this section of Randolph County, defining a landscape of sharp bends and river islands like Price Island and Hodge Island. Near the southern border, the town of Wadley serves as a local hub, anchored by the campus of Southern Union State Community College and College Lake. The river's historical importance for transit is evidenced by crossings such as Wellborne Ferry in the north and Malone Ferry near the settlement of Malone. Family and community history is preserved across several small burial grounds, including Knight Cem, Gay Cem, and Fisher Cem, while Forester Chapel stands as a landmark in the central-east. The terrain is marked by distinct peaks such as Oak Mtn and Buck Mtn, providing a topographic framework for the numerous named branches and creeks that feed into the Tallapoosa watershed.
