About this map

Talladega National Forest dominates the central landscape of this survey, where the ridges of Horn Mtn and Rebecca Mtn rise above the surrounding valleys. The terrain is defined by the headwaters of Hatchet Creek, which flows south through the quadrangle alongside numerous smaller tributaries like Moss Rock Br and Little Hatchet Cr. This modern data reflects a region where small, dispersed settlements like Roselle and Shady Grove are connected by a network of rural routes including Shady Grove Rd and State Rte 148. Numerous family and community burial grounds, such as the Rozelle and Chandler Cem and Russell Cem, are preserved across the ridges, offering significant data for those tracing local lineages. The presence of the Pinhoti National Recreation Trail following the high ground of the mountains underscores the area's transition into a protected recreational landscape.
