About this map

The crossroads of Daviston and New Site anchor this rural landscape in northeastern Tallapoosa County, where the terrain is carved by a dense network of waterways like Emuckfaw Cr and Little Emuckfaw Cr. The map reveals a community deeply rooted in its local history and genealogy, documented through numerous family and locality-named cemeteries such as Bethany Cem, Old Vickers Cem, and County Line Cem. These burial grounds, often situated near small settlements like Simpson and Zana, serve as primary markers for researchers tracing ancestral lands.

Transportation patterns are defined by historic routes like Germanys Ferry Rd and Old Daviston Rd, which navigate the drainages of Mith Cr and Milam Cr. The intersection of county boundaries between Tallapoosa, Clay, and Randolph counties further shapes the administrative character of this area, highlighting its position as a tri-county borderland where local roads often terminate or transition at these lines.
