of the two rivers Coosau & Tallapoosa, where formerly stood the french fort Toulouse. The town is on a bluff on the Coosau 46 feet above low water mark. The rivers here approach each other within 1/4 of a mile; then curve out, making a flat of low land, of three thousand acres, which has been rich with can brake; and 1/3 under cultivation in times past. The center of this flat is rich oak and hickory, margined on both sides with rich cane swamp. The land back of the town for a mile, is flat, a whitish clay, small pine, oak & dwarf hickory, then high pine forest.
