About this map

Hatchet Creek winds through the northern reaches of this landscape, its path marked by rapids before feeding into Mitchell Lake. This 1971 record of Coosa County shows a rural topography defined by established crossroads and small watercourses like Pinchoulee Creek and Town Creek. Central to the area is Richville, situated near Travelers Rest, serving as a hub for the surrounding countryside.

The map reveals a network of local heritage sites, including the Sardis Cem and Murchison Cem, alongside several country churches such as Swamp Creek Ch and Proctor Creek Ch. The southern border follows the Coosa Co Elmore Co line, dipping toward the waters of Jordan Lake. This survey captures the region just as the Pipeline was established across the central hills, providing a clear view of the area's mid-century settlement patterns and land use.
