1971 Map of Buttston

About this map

Horseshoe Bend National Military Park dominates the northwest corner of this landscape, marking the significant bend in the Tallapoosa River where the Battleground Monument stands. The river winds eastward through the terrain, passing Millers Bridge and the churning waters of Griffin Shoals, while the surrounding hills are dotted with small rural communities and family-named creek basins. Long-standing local gathering points like Poplar Springs Ch and Lebanon Ch define the social geography of the era, situated among numerous gravel pits that hint at the local resource extraction during the early 1970s.
