2011 Map of Ofelia

About this map

The Tallapoosa River and Little Tallapoosa River dominate this landscape, their winding courses shaped by the waters of the R L Harris Reservoir. This map reveals the intricate shoreline and numerous creek branches that feed into the reservoir system, including Triplett Creek and Miles Branch. The settlement of Ofelia sits on the western edge of the quadrangle, while Swagg is located further north. This edition captures the infrastructure of the early 21st century, detailing river crossings such as the Island Ford Bridge and the Overton Bridge. These points of transit, alongside traditional landmarks like Young Ford, reflect the ongoing relationship between the local road network and the water. Rural family and community heritage is grounded in the presence of the Pleasant Hill Cemetery and Boozer Cemetery, which remain as fixed markers in a landscape otherwise defined by the rising waters and fluctuating shoreline of the Harris Reservoir.
