About this map

The Central of Georgia railway cuts through the northeastern corner of this Alabama landscape, serving the settlement of Hollins and threading through the Talladega National Forest. This 1984 survey captures a rural network of small communities and crossroads such as Stewartville, Hanover, and Holman Crossroads where the borders of Coosa, Talladega, and Clay Counties converge. The topography is defined by the high ground of Locust Mtn and Terrapin Hill, which channel numerous watercourses including Hatchet Creek and Weogufka Creek.

Religious and educational landmarks serve as vital anchor points for local history research, including Shiloh Ch, Macedonia Ch, and the Bethany Ch. The presence of the Coosa Co Voc Center and the Mt Pleasant Cem provides further evidence of the area's social fabric. This map document offers a clear view of the mid-1980s transition in the region, where legacy rail lines and established country churches remained central to the rural geography.
