About this map

Alexander City serves as the focal point of this Tallapoosa County survey, captured during a period of mid-century growth and early 1980s updates. The city's landscape is defined by the Central of Georgia railroad corridor and civic landmarks like the Russell Hospital, Russell High Sch, and the Alexander City Jr College campus. The surrounding terrain is marked by numerous rural sanctuaries and burial grounds, including Pearson Chapel, Hillview Cem, and Carver Heights Cem.

To the south, the waters of Martin Lake reach into the landscape via Sugar Creek and Elkahatchee Creek, where Wind Creek State Park borders the shoreline. This geography reflects a transition from the industrial and educational center of the city to the recreational and natural landscape of the Tallapoosa River. Aviation and infrastructure are represented by T C Russell Field and prominent pipelines traversing the northern sectors near Oaktasasi Creek.
