About this map

Richville and its surrounding rural hamlets are defined by the intricate network of creeks and branches that feed into Mitchell Lake along the western edge of this Coosa County landscape. The settlement pattern is largely dictated by the terrain, with small communities like Kellys Crossroads and Travelers Rest established at key intersections of county highways. Numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Sardis Cemetery and New Union Cemetery, are scattered across the quadrangle, serving as vital markers for local genealogical research.

Water management is evident through features like Grooves Lake Dam and Shelton Lake Dam, which regulate the flow of the many small waterways such as Pinchoulee Creek and Proctor Creek. The map documents a predominantly agrarian and wooded region in the early 21st century, where the transition from traditional crossroads settlements like Schley to modern rural development is clearly visible through the evolving road network of Co HWY-29 and Co HWY-31.
