2018 Map of Jacksons Gap

About this map

The Tallapoosa River winds through this landscape, feeding the expansive waters of Martin Lake and shaping the development of northeastern Tallapoosa County. This 2018 survey captures the region long after the river was harnessed, showing a mixture of lakeside recreation and established rural communities. The settlement of Jacksons Gap serves as a local hub near the southern edge, while the northeastern corner includes the historic vicinity of Tohopeka, situated along the bend of the river. Small family and community burial grounds, such as Jackson Field Cem and Woods Cem, are scattered across the terrain, providing essential data for genealogical research. The map also documents the transition from the industrial outskirts of Alexander City to the more dispersed settlements of Fosheeton and Sturdivant, connected by a network of rural routes like Horseshoe Bend Rd and Fox Creek Rd.
