About this map

The Tallapoosa River meanders through this portion of Montgomery County, defining a landscape of low-lying bends and seasonal creeks. Small settlements like Ware and Brassell serve as local anchors, while the presence of Mount Meigs Station points to the area's historical connection to regional transit. The map is particularly notable for its density of family and community burial grounds, including the Strahan Cemetery, Anthony Cemetery, and the Wares Quarter Cemetery near Poundstone Lake.

Hydrological features such as Chubbehatchee Creek, Goodwater Creek, and Line Creek provide the primary drainage for the surrounding terrain. To the west, the Poundstone Dam and an adjacent Landing Strip represent 20th-century modifications to the rural environment, while the intricate network of local routes like Rifle Range Rd and Mitchell Creek Rd weave together the various farmsteads and creek-side clearings.
