1975 Map of Tallapoosa North

About this map

The Tallapoosa River meanders through the central and eastern portions of this orthophotoquad, which covers a rural landscape in Haralson County during the mid-1970s. This imagery-based survey, produced in cooperation with the Soil Conservation Service, provides a clear view of the land-use patterns of the era, contrasting densely wooded areas with the geometric white-and-gray patches of cleared farmland and pasture. The small settlement of Poplar Springs is the primary named community, appearing as a cluster of structures along the county roads. Genealogists and local historians can trace property boundaries and road alignments as they existed just before the turn of the decade, seeing exactly where rural homesteads and agricultural tracts interfaced with the river valley.
