About this map

The Martin Lake shoreline dominates this landscape, reflecting the transformation of the Tallapoosa River valley following the construction of the Martin Dam. Along the irregular western banks, the settlement of Kowaliga and the Church in the Pines serve as focal points for the lakeside community. Further south, the map documents the engineering and industrial footprint at Cherokee Bluffs, where a Powerhouse and Gaging Sta operate near the dam.

Away from the water, the terrain reveals rural life through scattered landmarks like Watson Chapel, Red Hill, and Pleasant Hill. Genealogists and local historians can trace family locations through sites such as Prospect Cem and the small Beulah Ch at the southern edge of the survey. The geography is further defined by the winding paths of Gold Branch and Channahatchee Creek, which cut through the hills before joining the main river system.
