About this map

Hackneyville and the surrounding rural communities of northern Tallapoosa County are captured here in the late 1960s, showing a landscape defined by small settlements and numerous country churches. The terrain is marked by the winding courses of Hillabee Creek and its many tributaries, including Harbuck Creek and Broken Arrow Creek. This era shows the persistence of local centers like Cleveland Crossroads and Pinckeyville, where life centered around landmarks such as High Sch and Liberty Ch.

Genealogists will find a wealth of family history data in the many scattered burial grounds, such as Dillard Cem, Selma Cem, and Bice Cem. The map documents the rural infrastructure of the time, from the Smyrna Community Center to the Filtration Plant near Oaktasasi Creek. The boundary between Clay and Tallapoosa counties follows the Freeman Line, a historical survey mark that bisects the northern reach of the map.
