About this map

Heflin and Edwardsville serve as the primary hubs in this Cleburne County landscape, where the Southern Railway corridors dictate the development of the valley. Much of the northern terrain is dominated by the Talladega National Forest, featuring landmarks like Flag Mtn and the Skyway Motorway. The map provides a detailed view of the local social fabric, documenting institutions such as the Heflin Training Sch, County High Sch, and Bellsmith Sch.

The area is characterized by a high density of small community centers, visible through the numerous country churches and family-named cemeteries. Features like Evans Chapel, Happy Hill Ch, and the Old Liberty Cem offer critical clues for genealogists and local historians. Water resources, including Lake Heflin and Cane Creek, reflect the intersection of the natural environment and local infrastructure during the late 1960s and subsequent photorevisions.
