About this map

Cheaha Mountain and Hernandez Peak dominate this section of the Talladega National Forest along the border of Clay and Cleburne counties. The landscape is defined by its high-elevation ridges and a sophisticated network of footpaths, including the Pinhoti NRT, the Chinnabee Silent Hiking Trail, and the Odum Scout Trail. These trails connect numerous notable summits and lookouts such as McDill Point, Parker High Point, and Bald Rock.

In the valleys, small communities and rural landmarks persist, most notably the settlement of Union and its associated Union Cem. Water resources are plentiful, with Lake Chinnabee and Cheaha Lake serving as central features amidst a web of drainage creeks like Hillabee Cr and Shinbone Cr. For genealogists and local historians, the presence of Ebenezer Cem and Mannings Chapel Cem provides specific points of interest for tracing family roots in this corner of Alabama.
