I have an original map published in 1861 by Colton that shows a town called Montreal on the banks of the Tallapoosa. I don't know if the community still existed when the lake was impounded, but if anything was there it would be in deep water now. As best as I can describe to you here, the site could be located by drawing a line from Dadeville to Rockford... where the line intersects the original streambed, you should find the location of Montreal. In 1861, there was a road from Dadeville to Rockford that crossed the river (a ferry probably) at Montreal.

Another road started at Socapatoy (now the intersection of highway 280 and Coosa Co. 9), & intersected with the Dadeville-Rockford road at Montreal.

None too exact directions but hope you find this helpful..... happy hunting.
