1971 Map of Flag Mountain

About this map

Weogufka State Forest anchors the northern high ground of this Coosa County landscape, where Flagg Mountain rises as a prominent landmark topped with a Lookout Tower and Radio Tower. The terrain is deeply carved by the winding course of Hatchet Creek and its many tributaries, including Weogufka Creek and Jack Creek. This 1971 survey shows a rural settlement pattern defined by small communities such as Bentleyville, Hillwood, and Moriah, often centered around local congregations like Mt Moriah Ch and Flint Hill Ch. Genealogists will find several rural burial grounds, including Liberty Hill Cem and Old Union Cem, which reflect the localized family history of these ridge-and-valley hamlets. Evidence of traditional river crossings remains visible at Tyler Ford, illustrating the historic dependence on natural water access points before modern infrastructure fully transformed the county's backroads.
