About this map

Dadeville and the surrounding Tallapoosa County hills are depicted in this 2018 survey, showing the complex interplay of modern lakeside development and long-standing rural landmarks. The map centers on the transition from the municipal grid of Dadeville and North Dadeville to the convoluted western shoreline of Martin Lake. This terrain is characterized by numerous inlets and prominent points like Youngs Island and Smith Mtn, where residential roads such as Point Windy Rd and Shady Bay Dr now trace the ridges above the water.

Genealogical interest is found in the many rural burial grounds preserved across the landscape, including the Old Rocky Mount Cem near Alexander City and the Shepard Graveyard on the eastern edge. Further south, the map documents established sites like Pleasant Ridge Cem and Red Ridge Cem tucked between the drainages of Mutton Cr and Buck Cr. These scattered cemeteries and old routes like Youngs Ferry Rd provide a clear view of the older agricultural footprint that preceded the rise of the lake-based economy.
