About this map

The Tallapoosa River flows across this Haralson County landscape, anchoring a rural network of small communities and family-named landmarks. Near the northern reach of the river sits Abernathys Mill, while the central portion of the sheet is dominated by the town of Buchanan, where the Buchanan City Cem is a prominent local landmark. The terrain is defined by its watercourses, including Little River, Cochran Cr, and Holcomb Cr, which drain the wooded hillsides surrounding the town center.

Several smaller settlements like Tabernacle and West Bremen provide important reference points for genealogists and local historians. The area is dotted with numerous small cemeteries, such as Mt Vernon Cem and Bethel Cem, alongside several recreational water bodies including Lake Haralson and Lake Olympia. This survey captures the region just as modern development began to further interface with these long-established agrarian and community hubs.
