    3. Benjamin Hawkins wrote a narrative description of many of the Creek towns in his _Sketch of Creek Country in 1796_... part or all of which has been loaded on a web site, I believe. You can also find maps on the University of Georgia's historical map server that can shed light... as until Alabama was created most if not all of the area it came to occuipy was claimed by Georgia. The only maps that I can think of off hand that are explicitly oriented towards Creek history are large separate foldouts included with Swanton's _Early History of the Creek Indians and their Neighbors_. Almost any map is just a slice of reality at a point in time. Though Creek towns were more or less permanent... they moved from time to time either through agricultural depletion of the soil, pressure from Europeans, or perhaps other causes. Some of the movements were quite early (1600s) and quite dramatic (more than a hundred miles). RW Jacnrg@aol.com wrote: >Does anyone know of maps of Creek areas in Alabama before the Civil War? >
