2024 Map of Tallapoosa North

About this map

The Tallapoosa River winds through the borderlands of Georgia and Alabama, anchoring a landscape where small rural settlements like Poplar Springs and Steadman have persisted for generations. This 2024 survey documents the dense network of county and local roads, such as Crossroads Church Rd and Poplar Springs Church Rd, that connect scattered homesteads and community centers. The map is particularly valuable for genealogical research, identifying numerous local burial grounds including Mount Zion West Cem and the New Canaan Cem. Small impoundments like Pope Lake and Spearman Lake punctuate the drainage basins of Terrapin Creek and Little Creek, reflecting the area's agricultural and recreational water management. The state line itself, dividing Cleburne Co, Alabama, from Haralson County, Georgia, cuts through the western edge of the quadrangle, illustrating the trans-border nature of the upper Tallapoosa basin.
