About this map

The Tallapoosa County Courthouse Dadeville anchors this survey of eastern Alabama, where the rising waters of Martin Lake have transformed the landscape into a complex network of peninsulas and inlets. The shoreline is densely marked by recreational and residential development, with numerous roads such as Point Windy Rd and Lakeview Heights Rd providing access to the waterfront. Amidst this modern topography, the map preserves the locations of numerous historic family and community burial grounds, including the Farrow Dennis Graveyard, Shepard Graveyard, and Spain Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research in the area.

Elevations rise to Smith Mtn overlooking the lake, while the eastern portion of the quadrangle retains a more traditional rural character around Dadeville and North Dadeville. Drainage patterns are defined by the winding paths of Chattasofka Creek and Buck Cr, which flow toward the reservoir. The map documents the persistent reach of local history through names like Jacksons Gap and old river crossings like Youngs Ferry Rd, reflecting the era's transition from agricultural hinterland to a prominent lakeside community.
