2011 Map of Flag Mountain

About this map

Flag Mountain and its namesake Lookout Tower dominate the northwestern corner of this landscape, marking a prominent peak in the Weogufka Mountains. This area of Coosa County is defined by a dense network of drainages including Hatchet Creek and Weogufka Creek, which cut through the ridges toward the Coosa River basin. Small rural communities like Bentleyville, Moriah, and Lyle are connected by local routes such as County Highway 29 and Lawson Mill Road. Genealogists will find a wealth of local history preserved in the numerous family and community burial grounds, from the O J Mooney Family Cemetery near Mill Creek to the Old Mount Moriah Cemetery and Liberty Hill Cemetery. The map also documents traditional river crossings like Scott Ford and Tyler Ford, indicating historical transportation patterns before modern bridge networks fully transformed the backroads.
