About this map

Choccolocco Mtn and the ridges of the Talladega National Forest dominate this part of eastern Alabama, where small communities and family burial grounds are tucked into the valleys. The eastern edge of Jacksonville gives way to a landscape of winding creeks and significant gaps, such as Rabbitown Gap and Whites Gap. These natural passes have historically dictated movement between settlements like White Plains and Rabbitown.

Genealogical interest is found in numerous legacy cemeteries, including Wellborn Cem, Nances Creek Cem, and Williamson-Little Cem. The hydrography is defined by the headwaters of Choccolocco Cr and Nances Creek, which drain the mountainous terrain. Key landmarks like Chimney Peak and Dugger Mtn provide clear reference points for the area's complex topography near the border of Calhoun and Cleburne counties.
