About this map

Horseblock Mountain and Ivory Mountain dominate the terrain of this West-Central Alabama quadrangle, which sits largely within the protected boundaries of the Talladega National Forest. The map documents a landscape of ridge-top lookouts and deep creek drainages, where the Skyway Motorway follows the high ground of the Horseblock Mountain ridge.

Settlement is concentrated along the road networks connecting Hollis Crossroads and Chulafinnee, with numerous country churches such as Bethlehem Ch and Liberty Hill Ch serving the local population. Educational and social centers like the Pleasant Grove Jr High Sch and Camp Hollis provide clear geographic anchors for genealogists and local historians. To the north, the winding Chocococco Creek and various branch lines like Nixon Branch and Carr Creek highlight the intricate hydrological system feeding into the Tallapoosa River at the map's edge.
