2024 Map of Childersburg

About this map

The Coosa River corridor in Talladega County defines the industrial and residential development of this region, anchored by the city of Childersburg and its surrounding suburbs. The landscape reflects a legacy of river-dependent transport and industry, evidenced by the sites of the Old Kymulga Ferry and Old Lawson Ferry, which historically linked the riverbanks before modern bridges. Industrial footprints are prominent at Coosa Pines, while residential growth is clustered in neighborhoods like Grove Park, Indian Hill, and Minor Terrace. Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites across the quadrangle, ranging from the large Childersburg Cem to smaller family and community locations such as the Nicholls Cem and the Mount Zion Christian Methodist Episcopal Cem. The map also captures the varied terrain between the river and the heights of Cave Mtn, showing how modern infrastructure such as the DeSoto Caverns Pkwy navigates the creeks and ridges.
