1971 Map of Buttston

About this map

Horseshoe Bend National Military Park occupies a significant horseshoe-shaped loop of the Tallapoosa River, marking the site of a pivotal conflict. This 1971 study documents the preserved landscape including the Battleground Monument, Millers Bridge, and the river's edge at Griffin Shoals. The surrounding Tallapoosa County countryside is dotted with small rural communities and local landmarks that provide valuable context for genealogists. Settlements like Buttston, Easton, and Sessions are connected by a network of creeks, including Emuckfaw Creek and Eagle Creek. Notable community centers such as Bethlehem Ch, Poplar Springs Ch, and Lebanon Ch appear alongside their respective cemeteries, anchoring the area's social and family history. Downstream from the Hamlet Mill Bridge, the terrain is defined by numerous gravel pits and the winding courses of Soapstone Creek and Chatasofka Creek.
