About this map

Eclectic anchors the southern portion of this Elmore County landscape, where the town's street grid meets the winding courses of Channahatchee Cr and Tunkeehatchee Cr. This modern survey reveals a region defined by its water resources and rural hamlets, from the established settlement of Central to the northern reaches of Martin Lake. The topography is marked by a complex network of creeks like Sofkahatchee Cr and Chubbehatchee Cr that feed into larger reservoirs and ponds, including Nolen Davis Lake Number One and Maier Lake.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community landmarks, such as Cotton Cem, Thrash Cem, and Pleasant Grove Cem. The map tracks the evolution of local transit from the historic Central Plank Rd to modern routes serving lakeside developments near Mariner Island and Real Island. Small crossroads like Seman, Kid, and Cotton persist as markers of the area's social geography amidst the inlets and points of the Tallapoosa River drainage.
