2018 Map of Harpersville

About this map

Harpersville and Wilsonville anchor this 2018 survey of the Coosa River valley, showing a landscape defined by its proximity to Lay Lake and the shifting channels of the Coosa River. The map illustrates the transition from the elevated Moore Mtn in the northwest down toward the wide alluvial plains where Old Glade Swamp and Deer Lick Br drain toward the river. For genealogists, the map is remarkably dense with family-named landmarks and historical burial grounds, including the Masters Cem, Williamson Cem, and the uniquely plural Wallace Cemeteries near Klein. The region’s rural settlement pattern is traced through several crossroads communities such as Gallups Crossroads and Chancellor Crossroads, while the southern border features the industrial and residential fringes of Childersburg. Transportation remains centered on historical corridors like Co RD 280 and the winding Dead Hollow Rd S, which follow the natural contours of the valley floor between the river bends like Cosper Bend.
