McIntosh Reserve: McIntosh was a chief of the Lower Creeks. His mother was a Creek, his father Scotch-Irish. The Creeks occupied most of Middle Georgia and Alabama, and were under pressure to move west from the US settlers. McIntosh negotiated a treaty in 1825 that ceded almost all the creek lands in Georgia in exchange for cash payments. One exception was a small reserve along the Chattahoochee River that was deeded to Chief McIntosh - which we know now as McIntosh Reserve. The Creeks were not happy with McIntosh, and other Creek chiefs seized and executed him in 1825. He is buried in McIntosh Reserve, not far from control #125 on the Sprint A course.
