About this map

The Coosa River dominates this portion of Elmore County, carving through a landscape of significant elevation changes and historic river crossings. The city of Wetumpka serves as the focal point, where the iconic Bibb Graves Bridge spans the water near the Wetumpka City Cem. To the north, the river is characterized by complex navigation hazards like Corn Creek Shoals, Moccasin Shoals, and Grays Island Shoal, illustrating the river's rugged fall line character.

Upland from the river valley, the terrain rises toward Bald Knob and the community of Blue Ridge. Small settlements and family landmarks like Wallsboro and Batchler Cem are scattered throughout the northern reaches, while the southeastern corner is drained by Harwell Mill Cr near the Harwell Cem. This survey provides a clear look at the modern road network, including the Coosa River Pkwy, superimposed over the region's traditional township and range divisions.
