2018 Map of Daviston

About this map

Daviston and the surrounding rural landscape of northeast Tallapoosa County are defined by a network of creeks and family-named landmarks. The topography is intricately carved by Emuckfaw Cr and Little Emuckfaw Cr, which drain the ridges where settlements like Simpson and Zana were established. Local history is deeply rooted in the land, as evidenced by several cemeteries including the County Line Cem and Old Vickers Cem, which often represent the only remaining physical markers of early community centers. At the northern edge, the junction of three counties—Clay, Randolph, and Tallapoosa—converges near the settlement of Motley. A sophisticated local road network, including paths like Germanys Ferry Rd and Old Place Rd, connects these disparate homesteads and farming areas, illustrating the late-modern continuity of rural Alabama settlement patterns.
