About this map

The Tallapoosa River forms the defining eastern boundary of this region, separating Elmore and Tallapoosa counties. Along its banks, the established community of Tallassee serves as a local hub, flanked by the residential pockets of Jordanville and Carrville. The surrounding landscape is a complex network of small settlements and family-named landmarks like Butts Mill and Hornsbytown.

Genealogists will find several notable burial grounds and meeting houses, including Friendship Cem and Friendship Ch near the settlement of Friendship, as well as Hornsby Cem to the north. The terrain is deeply carved by water, with Wallahatchee Cr and its tributaries like Harrington Br and Tumketcher Cr draining the central hills. To the south, Reeves Airport sits near the river's bend, while the northern reaches transition toward Kent and the elevated Asbury Ridge.
