2024 Map of Wattsville

About this map

Backbone Mountain anchors the center of this landscape, dividing the waters of Shoal Creek and Beaver Creek to the northwest from the network of branches and lakes to the southeast. In the western reaches, Odenville marks a point of expansion near Pine Ridge, while the eastern terrain is defined by the ridge lines of Beaver Creek Mountains and the distinct formation at Moon Rock. The settlement pattern follows the valley floors, with Wattsville and Coal City situated among a complex of small waterways like Broken Arrow Creek and Leather Creek. Genealogists will find a significant distribution of local burial sites, from the Popes Chapel Methodist Church Cem to the smaller Karr Cem and Spring Hill Cem, reflecting the deep-rooted family history of St. Clair County. The southeastern corner is notably water-rich, featuring Tabb Lake and the winding Wolf Creek.
