2001 Map of Hollis Crossroads

About this map

Talladega National Forest dominates this section of eastern Alabama, where the convergence of Cleburne, Calhoun, and Tallapoosa counties creates a landscape of ridges and creek valleys. The historic settlement of Chulafinnee sits near the namesake Chulafinnee Creek, while the community of Hollis Crossroads serves as a local hub further south. This 2001 revision by the USDA Forest Service emphasizes recreational and transport infrastructure, featuring the Pinhoti Trail as it winds through the interior alongside the Skyway Motorway. Local religious and educational life is grounded in several rural sites including Bethlehem Ch, Macedonia Ch, and the Pleasant Grove Jr High Sch. Water features like Abel Lake and Morgan Lake are interspersed throughout the forest, marking old drainage patterns and localized resource management in the post-war South.
