1971 Map of Jacksons Gap

About this map

The Tallapoosa River flows through a landscape defined by the expansive backwaters of Martin Lake and the rural communities of Tallapoosa County in the early 1970s. The town of Jacksons Gap is situated near the Central of Georgia Railroad Grade, serving as a focal point for a region dotted with historic congregations such as New Concord Ch, Eagle Creek Ch, and Woods Ch. To the north, the small settlement of Fosheeton sits near the confluence of Turkey Creek and Hillabee Creek, while the eastern portion of the map includes Tohopeka, reflecting the area's deep ties to Alabama's frontier and indigenous history.
