1944 Map of Goodwater

About this map

Goodwater and the industrial hub of Sylacauga anchor this mid-1940s landscape where the Talladega Mountains meet the rolling transition into Coosa and Clay counties. The area is defined by the Talladega National Forest, which covers a significant portion of the central terrain, punctuated by landmarks like the Hollins Fire Tower on a high ridge. Settlement patterns follow the Louisville and Nashville railroad corridor through Hollins and Sycamore, while rural life is centered on a dense network of country schools and churches, including Trammells Sch and Haynes Chapel.
