About this map

Horseshoe Bend National Military Park dominates the northwest quadrant of this Tallapoosa County map, preserving the grounds where the Tallapoosa River makes its distinctive loop at Horseshoe Bend. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Tallapoosa River, which is fed by numerous tributaries including Eagle Creek, Soapstone Creek, and Emuckfaw Creek. Small settlements and historic crossroads such as Easton, Buttston, and Sessions are connected by a network of rural roads like Dudleyville Road and Griffin Shoals Road.

For local history and genealogy, the map identifies several family and community landmarks, including the Germany Family Cemetery, Gillam Cemetery, and Lebanon Cemetery. The river's historical crossing points are noted by Germanys Ferry Bridge and Millers Bridge, while man-made water features like Lake Howard and Swindall Lake dot the landscape. The geography reveals a transition from the preserved military grounds to the active rural communities of the early 21st century.
