1971 Map of Rockford SW

About this map

Pentonville and the surrounding rural landscapes of Coosa County are defined by a network of small family-named creeks and traditional country churches in the early 1970s. The terrain transitions from the Hachemadega Creek drainage in the north toward the Coosa and Elmore county line in the south, where the settlement of Weoka is established near Bethesda Creek. The prevalence of community anchors such as Pleasant Hill Ch, Rehoboth Ch, and Shady Grove Ch suggests a deeply rooted social structure typical of central Alabama's upland farms.
