About this map

Talladega Creek winds through the heart of this Talladega County landscape, where the landmark Kymulga Covered Bridge serves as a bridge between the area's agricultural past and its modern topography. The settlement of Childersburg stands as a central hub, surrounded by residential developments like Indian Hill, Minor Terrace, and Bon Air. To the northwest, the industrial presence of Coosa Pines sits adjacent to the Coosa River Golf Course and the waters of Lay Lake.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local history in the numerous burial sites, including Old Reynolds Cemetery, Mount Olive Cemetery, and Green Hill Cemetery. The map documents a complex water management system featuring several structures like Donahoo Dam, Limbaugh Dam, and Jones Dam which regulate the local creeks and lakes. The terrain is punctuated by significant elevations such as Cave Mountain and Bailey Mountain, providing a clear view of the natural drainage patterns into Tallaseehatchee Creek and Weewoka Creek.
