About this map

Sylacauga sits at the northern edge of this landscape where the Talladega National Forest meets the transition between Talladega Co, Coosa Co, and Clay Co. This terrain is defined by the sharp ridges of the Weogufka Mountains and the Locust Mtn range, which dictate the winding paths of rural routes like Holmans Crossroads Rd. The area is dotted with small, dispersed communities including Hollins, Hanover, and Mount Olive, each connected by a network of drainage systems like Hatchet Creek and Weogufka Cr.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across these hills, from the Hollins Springs Cem in the north to Andrews Chapel Cem near Hanover. The presence of Old Bethany Cem and Union Cem near the western boundary highlights the long-standing family settlements that have persisted in these highlands. Geographic landmarks such as Tanyard Hill Gap and Deep Cut Gap provide clear evidence of how early travel was funneled through the local topography.
