1906 Map of Dadeville

About this map

The Tallapoosa River carves a winding path through this central Alabama landscape, shown here as it appeared before the modern reservoirs fundamentally altered the river's course. Numerous crossings such as Mellers Ferry, Welch Ferry, and Robinson Ferry link the disconnected communities of Tallapoosa and Elmore counties. The rugged river valley is dominated by features like Cherokee Bluffs and Wind, while the surrounding uplands are dotted with family-owned operations including Jones Mill, McRitchie Mill, and Ashurst Mill.
