About this map

Borden Wheeler Springs and Borden Springs sit within a landscape shaped by both early industry and modern conservation, straddling the Alabama-Georgia border. The presence of Tecumseh Furnace and the namesake Augusta Mine Ridge highlights the region's historical ties to iron ore processing, while the sprawling Talladega National Forest now preserves much of the surrounding terrain.

Genealogists and local historians can find numerous family-linked sites, including Arrington Chapel Cem, Williams Cem, and Edmondson Cem. The hydrologic network is defined by Terrapin Creek and its many numbered reservoirs, such as Terrapin Cr Lake Number 1 and Terrapin Cr Lake Number 22. Long-distance hikers will recognize the Pinhoti NRT as it winds through the ridges, connecting points like High Point and Rock Quarry Mtn across the county lines of Cherokee and Cleburne.
