Tama was located below all the other Creek towns on the Chattahoochee
On the DeCrenay map of 1733 the [Tama] name appears as Tamatle, and the tribe is located on the west bank of the Chattahoochee River below all of the other Creek towns on that stream.3 This position is confirmed from Spanish sources, particularly from one document in which the order of Lower Creek towns from south to north is given as "Tamaxle, Chalaquilicha, Yufala, Sabacola, Ocone, Apalachicalo, Ocomulque, Osuche, Chiaja, Casista, Caveta."4 (Swanton)
