About this map

Choccolocco Mountain and the Talladega National Forest dominate the central topography of this Alabama landscape, where several distinct ridges divide the drainage of the Choccolocco Creek from northern valleys. In the northeast, the Dugger Mountain Wilderness provides a primitive backdrop to the settlement at Rabbittown and the gap at King Gap. This area is characterized by numerous natural springs, such as Watsons House Spring and Roberts Spring, which likely influenced early site selection for homesteads and farms.

Small communities like White Plains and Merrellton anchor the southern and northern reaches, respectively. Cultural markers are dense near these hubs, including the Community Congregational Holiness Church and family-linked burial grounds such as Whites Gap Cem and the Williamson - Little Cem. The geography is defined by narrow passages like The Narrows and named points such as Ben White Point, reflecting a history of movement through the gaps between the mountain ranges.
