About this map

Horseshoe Bend National Military Park occupies a significant bend in the Tallapoosa River, marking a site of immense historical importance in eastern Alabama. This 2018 survey details the river's winding course as it passes Griffin Shoals and moves toward the settlements of Easton and Buttston. The landscape is characterized by its rural infrastructure, where historic crossings like Germanys Ferry Bridge and Hamlet Mill Bridge connect the hills above the riverbank.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local family history through numerous small burial grounds, including the Germany Family Cem, Buttston Cem, and Punkin Hill Cem. The map provides a clear look at the network of county roads, such as Everglade Rd and Horseshoe Bend Rd, that link these remote communities. Smaller water features like Emuckfaw Creek and Chattasofka Creek drain the surrounding timberlands, while Lake Howard provides a localized landmark near the southern boundary.
