About this map

Choccolocco and the surrounding valley floor serve as a hub for small communities and family landmarks along the eastern edge of the state. This landscape is defined by the sharp rise of Choccolocco Mtn and Morgan Mtn to the west, and the protected expanse of the Talladega National Forest to the east. The map documents numerous community burial sites, including Hudson Cem and Hanna Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research in this part of Calhoun County.

The water system of Choccolocco Cr and its tributaries, such as Cottaquilla Cr, historically supported local industry, evidenced by the site at Whitesides Mill. The transition between the high ridges of Brymer Mtn and the established settlements of Iron City and Old Davisville illustrates the traditional transport corridors that follow the valley's natural contours. These features together show a region where small-scale agriculture and forest management meet early industrial mill sites.
