About this map

Dugger Mountain and the steep ridges of the Talladega National Forest dominate the eastern landscape of this 1967 survey. The terrain is deeply carved by watercourses like Tallasseehatchee Creek and Choccolocco Creek, which influenced the placement of early settlements and agricultural clearings. In the northwest, the intersection of the Southern Railway and the Seaboard Coast Line at Merrelton highlights the region's historical reliance on rail for transporting timber and minerals.

Small rural communities and family landmarks are scattered throughout the valleys, including Holley Crossroads and Rabbittown. Genealogists will find numerous family burial grounds such as Boozer Cem and Salem Cem, alongside local spiritual centers like Friendship Ch and Oak Grove Ch. Industrial activity is noted through scattered quarries and the Gave Mine, while the Chimney Peak Lookout Tower stands as a sentinel over the wooded peaks of Cottaquilla Mountain.
