About this map

Choccolocco Mountain and Dugger Mountain dominate this terrain, shaping the settlement patterns of northeastern Alabama. Between these ridges, rural life is marked by small communities like Holley Crossroads and Rabbittown, often centered around country churches such as Salem Ch and Oak Grove Ch. The map highlights a landscape in transition, where the Talladega National Forest and Choccolocco Wildlife Management Area preserve large tracts of timberland alongside industrial markers like the Cave Mine and various quarries.

Transportation history is visible through the Seaboard Coast Line and Southern railroads intersecting near Merrelton, while an Old RR Grade reflects an even earlier era of rail transit. The western edge of the sheet captures the expansion of Jacksonville, including Eastwood High Sch, while numerous family cemeteries such as Boozer Cem and McCain Cem provide significant points of interest for genealogists tracing local lineage.
