About this map

Cheaha Mtn and the surrounding ridgelines of the Talladega National Forest dominate this landscape at the intersection of Cleburne, Talladega, and Clay Counties. The area serves as a significant high-altitude corridor featuring landmarks like Pulpit Rock, Bald Rock, and McDill Point. These peaks overlook a network of drainages including Shinbone Cr and Hillabee Cr, while Shinbone Valley stretches toward the northeast.

Settlement is sparse, concentrated primarily near Union and along State Rte 49. Local history is anchored by several small cemeteries such as Ebenezer Cem, Union Cem, and Mannings Chapel Cem, which sit alongside established forest routes like Old Oxford Rd. The presence of Lake Chinnabee and Cheaha Lake illustrates the management of water resources within this protected mountain terrain during the early 21st century.
