Communities in the county include Millbrook, Eclectic, Tallassee, Deatsville, Elmore, Holtville and Coosada.

Terrain, Flood and Zoning Notes
Elmore crosses the fall line, so the northern part is hillier Piedmont with rock and red clay, while the southern part is flatter Coastal Plain. Floodplain lines the Coosa, Tallapoosa and Alabama rivers, and lakefront parcels can be subject to utility-company shoreline rules. Wetumpka, Millbrook and Tallassee zone within their limits, while rural unincorporated areas have little use zoning.
