About this map

The Tallapoosa River and its intricate shoreline dominate this modern topographic survey, showing the impact of the R L Harris Reservoir on the local landscape. The map captures a mix of established rural settlements like Ofelia and Swagg alongside more recent lakeside developments. For genealogists and local historians, several burial sites remain clearly marked, including Pleasant Hill Cem, Shake Rag Cem, and Boozer Cem, offering clues to long-standing family ties in the area.

Infrastructure such as the Island Ford Bridge and Overton Bridge provide essential crossings over the reservoir’s many fingers, including Fortune Cove and the mouths of numerous small branches like Mill Br and Indian Creek E. The terrain rises toward Cockrell Mtn, while the southern reaches of the map include the R L Harris Dam Rd, hinting at the industrial engineering required to manage this waterway.
