About this map

The Tallapoosa River defines the landscape of this area, flowing through Irwin Shoals before widening into the northeastern reaches of Martin Lake. This 2011 survey captures the interface between the river's original channel and the reservoir's flooded timberlands. Near the southwestern corner, the community of Sturdivant sits where the topography begins to yield to the lake's fingers, including the winding Gin House Branch.

Genealogists and local historians can find several established burial grounds scattered across the terrain, from Antioch Cemetery in the north to Concord Cemetery near the southern edge. The map also records early rural infrastructure and community centers, such as the Hamlet Mill Bridge crossing Fox Creek and the Jacksons Gap Post Office, reflecting the enduring settlement patterns of eastern Alabama. Smaller communities like Fosheeton and Tohopeka are linked by a network of rural routes such as Whaley Ferry Rd and Camp Assca Rd.
