About this map

Tally Mountain and Black Jack Mountain rise above the drainage basins of the Tallapoosa River and its numerous tributaries, including Walker Creek and Williams Creek. This recent topographic study documents the rural landscape where Haralson County, Georgia, meets Cleburne County, Alabama, and Carroll County to the south. The area is defined by its numerous family and community landmarks, particularly a high density of small cemeteries like Liner Cem, Clay Cem, and Riverside Cem that dot the wooded ridges and creek bottoms.

Infrastructure is anchored by the Norfolk Southern railroad line and U.S. Highway 78, which parallel each other through the northern portion of the map. The settlement pattern remains largely rural, transitioning from the outskirts of Tallapoosa to the smaller communities of Hooper and Lebanon. Notable local landmarks like American Legion Lake and Goat Bluff provide reference points for those studying the contemporary geography of this border region.
