1967 Map of Ballplay

About this map

The Coosa River winds through the heart of this landscape, its tight meanders creating the distinct peninsulas of Pollard Bend and Coats Bend. Along its banks, the river's historical importance as a transit corridor is evident through several named crossings, including Baskin Ferry, Croft Ferry, Adams Ferry, and Wagnon Ferry. These points of connection served the small settlements and rural crossroads that dot the region, such as Ballplay, Murrycross, and Turkeytown.
