4. SURVEY OP TALLAPOOSA RIVER IN ALABAMA. 



This survey of a part of Tallapoosa River in Alabama was 

 made in June and July, 1900, under supervision of B. M. 

 Hall, resident Hydrographer, by Field Engineer James R. 

 Hall, levelman and topographer. 



The survey began at the Hydrographic Station on the 

 Tallapoosa River, at Milstead, Ala., and ran up the river 64 

 miles to head of shoal above Griffn's Ferry. The elevations 

 are sea-level elevations. 



DESCRIPTION OF RIVER. 



The entire river above Milstead runs on granite bed-rock, 

 and has numerous bluffs along its banks, forming excellent 

 sites for dams. 



There are two large developed water powers on the river : 

 The Tallassee Falls plant, and the Montgomery Power Com- 

 pany's plant, both of which are near the lower end of the sur- 

 vey. (See Plates B and C, opposite.}
