2024 Map of Cheaha Mountain

About this map

Cheaha Mtn anchors this terrain-heavy survey of the southern Appalachian foothills, where high ridges like Talladega Mountain and Shinbone Ridge dictate the flow of local commerce and settlement. The landscape is defined by the Talladega National Forest and the protected Cheaha Wilderness, featuring prominent peaks such as Hernandez Peak and McDill Point. While much of the area is dedicated to recreation, indicated by the Pinhoti National Recreation Trl and Chinnabee Silent Hiking Trl, the map reveals long-standing community roots through sites like Mannings Chapel Cem and Ebenezer Cem. In the southeastern corner, the lowlands of Shinbone Valley provide a stark contrast to the summits, with small water bodies like Burchfield Lake and numerous creeks like Ketchepedrakee Creek carving through the valleys.
