About this map

Martin Lake defines the northern reaches of this Tallapoosa County landscape, where numerous residential roads and points like Curry Pt and Marina Point Rd line the complex shoreline. Moving south from the water, the terrain transitions into a network of rural communities and crossroads. Walnut Hill and Ponders sit along the central ridges, while small settlements like Union and Thornton are marked by their proximity to local landmarks.

Genealogists will find this 2020 survey particularly valuable for its precise location of family and community burial grounds. Several historic sites are documented, including the Old Sharon Primitive Baptist Cem and John Johnston Cem. The drainage patterns of the region are clearly visible through the winding paths of Sougahatchee Creek, Wind Cr, and Ledbetter Cr, which carve through the southern portion of the quadrangle.
