About this map

Talladega National Forest encompasses much of this landscape in central Alabama, where the ridgelines of Horn Mtn and Rebecca Mtn dominate the terrain. The map documents a rural network of small communities and family cemeteries scattered along the drainage basins of Hatchet Creek and its tributaries, including W Fork Hatchet Cr and E Fork Hatchet Cr. The settlement patterns here are defined by narrow valleys and gaps, with Bulls Gap serving as a focal point for local transit.

Local history and genealogy are anchored in several established burial grounds such as Rozelle and Chandler Cem, Rebecca Chapel Cem, and Hatchett Creek Cem. While larger settlements like Roselle and Brownsville anchor the valley floors, smaller locales such as East Mill and Midway suggest a legacy of local industry and transport connections near the Talladega and Clay County line. Modern recreation is represented by the Pinhoti NRT, which traverses the high ground along the ridge.
