About this map

The Coosa County seat of Rockford serves as the central hub of this 1971 survey, situated at the junction of U.S. 231 and Ala 22. The surrounding landscape is defined by the winding course of Hatchet Creek, which is fed by numerous tributaries including Socapatoy Creek and Davidson Creek. This era of the county's history is marked by a network of rural congregations and family burial grounds, such as Shady Grove Ch and the Miller-Patterson Cem.

Evidence of local utility and industry appears through a Pumping Station and Gaging Station along the waterways, while the Lookout Tower near Hissop indicates the importance of forest management in this timber-rich region of Alabama. Settlement patterns follow the ridgelines and creek valleys, connecting smaller communities like Crewsville to the main town center, which includes a local High Sch and several churches such as the Church of Christ.
