About this map

Old Tallapoosa and the winding course of the Tallapoosa River anchor this 2011 geographic study of the Georgia-Alabama borderlands. The landscape is defined by its water crossings and small rural settlements, including Steadman and Poplar Springs. Historic crossing points like Adderholds Bridge, McBride Bridge, and Rowels Bridge indicate the importance of river access in this wooded region, while Rainwater Ford preserves a traditional point of transit across the main channel.

Genealogists will find numerous family and community landmarks, particularly the many cemeteries that dot the countryside such as New Canaan Cemetery, Salem Cemetery, and the Bethany Cemetery. Small waterways including Terrapin Creek, Mann Creek, and Little Creek carve through the terrain, supporting local reservoirs like Macks Lakes and Spearman Lake. The road network, from Treat Mountain Rd to Jacksonville Rd, connects these dispersed homesteads and burial grounds, providing a clear view of the rural settlement patterns near the state line.
