2020 Map of Buttston

About this map

Horseshoe Bend National Military Park anchor this portion of Tallapoosa County, marking the site of a pivotal clash on the Tallapoosa River. The landscape is defined by the winding river and its many tributaries, including Emuckfaw Creek and Chatahospee Creek, where historical crossings like Germanys Ferry Bridge and Millers Bridge suggest older patterns of travel and trade. Small rural communities such as Buttston, Easton, and Sessions are scattered across the interior, often centered around family landmarks and burying grounds. Genealogists will find significant detail in the numerous rural cemeteries, including Germany Family Cem, Punkin Hill Cem, and Lebanon Cem. The presence of Griffin Shoals and various creek-side roads reflects a terrain where local commerce was long tied to the water's edge.
