2024 Map of Hollins

About this map

Talladega National Forest dominates the northern reaches of this landscape, where the ridges of Locust Mtn and the Weogufka Mountains provide a backdrop for a series of rural communities. The map details a network of crossroad settlements including Hollins, Holman Crossroads, and Stewartville, each serving as a focal point for local transport and commerce. This high-elevation terrain is defined by its drainage patterns, with Hatchet Creek and Weogufka Creek carving valleys through the hills. For genealogists, the map is particularly useful for its identification of several legacy burial sites such as Macedonia Cem, Old Bethany Cem, and Mount Pleasant Cem. The presence of Tanyard Hill Gap and Deep Cut Gap illustrates the historical importance of mountain passes in connecting the southern Talladega highlands with the growing industrial center of Sylacauga to the northwest.
