The Tallapoosa River.

The Tallapoosa River runs from the southern end of the Appalachian Mountains in Georgia southward and westward into Alabama. It is formed by the confluence of McClendon Creek and Mud Creek in Georgia. The Tallapoosa joins the Coosa River about 10 miles to form the Alabama River.
