About this map

The Tallapoosa River winds through this central Alabama landscape, defining the terrain with sharp bends and rocky passages. Landmarks like Horseshoe Bend and the Griffin Shoals reveal the river's historic character, while man-made additions such as the Germanys Ferry Bridge and Swindall Dam reflect decades of local infrastructure development. The settlement pattern is largely rural, anchored by small communities including Buttston, Easton, and Sessions.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, such as the Germany Family Cemetery and Punkin Hill Cemetery. The map also details numerous creeks that feed the primary river system, including Sweetwater Creek and Chattahospee Creek, which likely dictated early land parcels and mill sites. From the secluded waters of Lake Howard to the crossing at Millers Bridge, the sheet documents a quiet, water-rich region of Tallapoosa County.
