(Not) Tapawingo Road
Currently (see date), Google Maps shows both Alabama Highways 151 and 75 as Tapawingo Road. This appears to be an error. Tapawingo Road connects Highway 75 to Bud Holmes Road, east of the Turkey Creek Thomas Tract. Street view shows street signs reading "75 Highway" along the route, at least east of 151. --Lkseitz (talk) 06:41, 9 November 2017 (PST)
