About this map

Tallapoosa River meanders through the heart of this landscape, marking the boundary between Elmore, Macon, and Montgomery counties. This 2020 survey illustrates the modern residential developments of Emerald Mountain and the suburban reach of eastern Montgomery. The map captures a transitional geography where established settlements like Shorter and Tysonville meet newer infrastructure, including the Emerald Mountain Airport.

Genealogists will find a significant number of family-named burial sites scattered throughout the terrain, including Strahan Cem, Billingslea Cem, and Wares Quarter Cem. The area south of the river is defined by a grid of rural and industrial corridors such as Rifle Range Rd and Ohio Ferro Rd, near the Mount Meigs Station. Significant drainage systems like Chubbehatchee Creek and Carters Cr shape the lowlands, providing a detailed view of the regional hydrology and its influence on local road placement.
