About this map

Stateline Rd divides this borderland between Georgia and Alabama, where rural communities like Graham and Ephesus are anchored by a high density of country churches and family burial grounds. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Little Tallapoosa River and its numerous tributaries, including Indian Creek and Tanyard Br. Notable river crossings such as Muckfau Bridge and Coles Bridge provided vital connections for local travelers and farmers.

Genealogists will find this 2020 record particularly valuable for its precise location of cemeteries, including Old Shiloh Church Cem and Buchanan Memorial Cem. The terrain rises to its highest point at Blackjack Mtn in the east, while the smaller settlements of Hawk and Sewell mark the quiet intersections of the western hills. The network of county roads reveals a long-standing settlement pattern that persists even as modern mapping technology documents the area.
