About this map

Talladega National Forest encompasses much of this landscape at the intersection of Perry, Chilton, and Dallas counties. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Oakmulgee Cr and its many tributaries, including Fivemile Br and Little Oakmulgee Cr, which carve through the dense woodlands. The small community of Panhandle serves as a local point of reference in an area otherwise characterized by timberland and isolated family burial grounds.

Genealogists will find a high density of rural cemeteries scattered throughout the forest and along the county lines, such as Hepzibah Cem in the north and Crossroad Cem to the south. The mapping of forest service roads and local routes like Old Oak Grove Church Rd and Fanne Bell Morton Rd suggests a landscape where historically significant sites like Pryor Bottom remain accessible despite the encroaching wilderness of the national forest.
