2014 Map of Clairmont Springs

About this map

Clairmont Springs and the surrounding ridgelines of the Talladega National Forest dominate this landscape at the boundary of Talladega and Clay counties. The area is defined by its dramatic topography, including the steep ascent of Talladega Mountain and prominent heights like Lizard Scrape Mtn and Poe Bridge Mtn. Settlement is concentrated along the valleys, with the community of Ashland and several historical burial grounds such as Sardis Cem and Old Noles Cem providing points of interest for genealogists. Watercourses like Enitachopco Cr and Little Hillabee Cr snake through the lower elevations, while roads like Idaho Rd and State Rte 77 connect the various gaps, including Ironston Gap and Clairmont Gap. This terrain suggests a long history of rural resilience in the Alabama foothills.
