About this map

The high ridges of Horseblock Mtn and Ivory Mtn dominate this portion of the Talladega National Forest, where the border of Calhoun and Cleburne counties meets. The landscape is defined by the steep transition from these peaks down to the winding Chulafinnee Cr and Hillabee Cr watersheds. Several small, established communities are situated along the lower elevations and road junctions, including Five Points, Abel, and the historic crossroads of Chulafinnee.

Genealogists and local historians will find the Bethlehem Cem east of Five Points particularly notable for regional family research. The map also reveals the industrial and recreational history of the area through features like the Gold Mine Lakes and several smaller impoundments such as Creighton Number 2 Lake and White Lake Number 1. This 2014 survey documents a rugged Appalachian landscape where the wild forest boundary meets small agricultural and residential settlements.
