About this map

Daviston serves as the primary hub of this Tallapoosa County landscape, where the Daviston Post Office and several local burial grounds like Daviston Cemetery anchor the community. The area is defined by a dense network of watercourses, most notably the winding Emuckfaw Creek and Little Emuckfaw Creek, which drain the timbered terrain south of Motley.

Tracing the rural road network reveals a history of land use and transit, including several logging routes and the historically named Germanys Ferry Rd near Zana. Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous family and community cemeteries scattered across the quadrangle, such as Union Cemetery, Bethany Cemetery, and Old Vickers Cemetery near Simpson. In the southern reaches, the Rocky Mount Lookout Tower stands as a prominent landmark overlooking the confluence of smaller branches like Sweetwater Creek and Jones Branch.
