Photo Gallery: Famous Indian Trail
Marker text:
The Upper Trading Path, one of the historic Indian ways of
the Southeast, passed here, leading westward from present Augusta to tribes
as far away as the Mississippi River. By various connections the route
reached the Muscogees of Western Georgia and Central Alabama; and the
Chickasaws and Choctaws of Mississippi.
The main stem of the thoroughfare, the Oakfuskee Path, led past Warrenton,
Eatonton, Indian Springs, Griffin and Greenville to Oakfuskee Town, chief
early center of the Upper Creek Indians on the Tallapoosa River in Alabama.
White traders began using this way in the early 1700s.
