1903 Map of Wetumpka

About this map

Wetumpka serves as the focal point for this survey, situated at the confluence where the Coosa River and Tallapoosa River join to form the Alabama River. The map captures a landscape defined by its intricate river and stream network at the turn of the century, illustrating the transition from the rolling terrain near Weogufka Mt in the north to the more settled plains of the south. This era is marked by a reliance on river crossings, with Knights Ferry and Smiths Ferry providing essential transit before the widespread adoption of bridges.
