About this map

The Tallapoosa River serves as the central artery for this region, dictating the development of industrial and civil infrastructure through the early 21st century. The map highlights a concentration of hydroelectric and utility management features, including Yates Dam and Thurlow Dam, which frame the river's descent through the city of Tallassee. To the south, the Tallassee Sewage Disposal Pond Dam and associated facilities indicate the area's modern utility footprint.

Away from the river's edge, the landscape transitions into a network of established settlements and historical sites. Small communities such as Kent, Friendship, and Jordanville are connected by a web of local roads including Chana Creek Rd and Upper River Rd. Genealogists will find significant value in the preservation of local burial grounds like Hornsby Cemetery, Friendship Cemetery, and Rosehill Cemetery, while rural industry is noted at Butts Mill along Wallahatchee Creek.
