About this map

The Southern railroad line anchors the local geography here, cutting through the southern landscape and passing directly through the community of Heflin. This 1967 survey captures a period of established local infrastructure, where the Talladega National Forest occupies much of the northern terrain, dominated by the ridge of Brymer Mountain and Flag Mtn. The map reveals a high concentration of sites for genealogical research, including numerous family and community burial grounds such as Heflin Cem, Black Cem, and Old Liberty Cem.

Education and civic life are represented by the Cleburne Co High Sch and the Heflin Training Sch, while the rural character of the outlying areas is defined by landmarks like Evans Chapel and the Cane Creek Ch. Water features like Lake Heflin and Lake Charles dot the landscape, providing a clear view of how the residents utilized the natural drainage of Shoal Creek and Cane Creek for recreation and utility during the late 1960s.
