2020 Map of Jacksons Gap

About this map

Martin Lake and the Tallapoosa River dominate this portion of Tallapoosa County, illustrating a landscape defined by the transition from riverine shoals to significant reservoir waters. The small settlement of Jacksons Gap serves as a central point for a network of local roads and trails, including Horseshoe Bend Rd and Grimes Ferry Rd. This survey preserves the locations of numerous family and community landmarks, such as Antioch Cem, Ephesus Cem, and Jackson Field Cem, which are essential for genealogical research in the area. Upstream, the Hamlet Mill Bridge crosses Emuckfaw Creek near Peters Island, while Irwin Shoals marks a distinct point on the river before it widens. Smaller communities like Sturdivant, Fosheeton, and Tohopeka are interconnected by historically significant routes like Old Hickory Rd and Andrew Jackson Rd.
