About this map

The Talladega National Forest encompasses the northwestern portion of this region, where the terrain rises toward Haynes Mountain. This 2018 survey reveals a landscape defined by small rural hubs and an extensive network of cemeteries, reflecting the long-standing community foundations in Clay, Cleburne, and Randolph counties. Delta, the primary settlement, is identified by the Delta PO, while other crossroads like Haynes Crossroad, Needmore, and Christiana anchor the surrounding timberlands and family farms.

Water is a central feature of the local topography, with numerous small impoundments including Clay County Lake, Lake Gerald, and Center Hill Lake. These bodies of water are fed by a complex drainage system of creeks such as Ketchepedrakee Cr and Mad Indian Cr. The abundance of burial sites, from Ragan Chapel Cem to Mount Moriah Cem, provides a valuable resource for genealogists tracing local families across these county lines.
