About this map

Hatchet Creek flows through the northern reaches of this rural landscape, carving a path toward the waters of Mitchell Lake in the northwest corner. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages including Swamp Creek, Pinchoulee Creek, and Welona Creek. Small agricultural and crossroads settlements are scattered throughout the interior, notably at Kellys Crossroads and the eponymous Richville.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the rural infrastructure of the early 1970s. The map identifies specific community landmarks such as Sardis Cem, Murchison Cem, and several small country churches including Wayside Ch and Zion Ch. Evidence of earlier local education remains at the Proctor Creek Sch, while the southern boundary marks the transition from Coosa Co into Elmore Co, just north of Jordan Lake.
