About this map

Sougahatchee Creek and Coon Creek define the drainage patterns of this rural stretch of Alabama along the border of Tallapoosa and Macon counties. At the time of this 1971 field check, the landscape is dotted with small community centers like Reeltown, which features a High Sch and Water Tank, and Carrville just north of Tallassee. The area shows a transition from agricultural use to light industrial and recreational markers, including several Gravel Pit operations and a Drive-in Theater near the western edge.

Genealogists will find several local landmarks of interest, such as Sharon Ch and its associated Sharon Cem, alongside Macedonia Ch and Elam Ch. Water-powered industry from earlier eras is represented by Broach Mill on Bulger Creek. The terrain is moderately dissected, rising to elevations like Baxley Hill, while southern reaches include uniquely named areas such as The Barroom near Gleeden Branch.
