About this map

Tallapoosa River meanders through the northeast corner of this map, defining the boundary between Elmore, Macon, and Tallapoosa counties. The landscape is characterized by the wide alluvial Tuckabatchie Bottoms and the prominent Robinson Bend. South of the river, the corridor along Us-80 and the interstate reveals the contemporary growth of Shorter, while surrounding settlements like Milstead, Tysonville, and Calebee maintain a more rural character.

Evidence of the region's deep history is found along the Old Federal Rd, a path that once served as a primary artery through the Southeast. The map also documents local landmarks such as Polecat Springs and the Tysonville Cem, alongside numerous creek systems including Cubahatchee Creek and Culebee Creek. This 2014 survey serves as a modern record of land use and drainage patterns in a historically significant portion of the Black Belt.
