About this map

Jacksonville and its surrounding Calhoun County landscape are defined by a mix of academic expansion, industrial heritage, and natural water sources. The Jacksonville State Univ campus occupies a prominent position on the eastern side of the map, while numerous springs and small lakes, such as Schenks White Sulphur Springs and Policemen Lake, suggest a land deeply shaped by its hydrology. The presence of Leydens Mill along the Tallasseehatchee Cr points to a history of water-powered industry that once supported local settlements.

Rural communities like Angel, Cedar Springs, and Tredegar are well-documented through their associated landmarks. Several family-named cemeteries, including the Tredagar Boozer Cem and Munger Cem, provide valuable points of reference for genealogical research. The southern portion of the map transitions toward the urban edges of Anniston and Weaver, where the topography levels out as the Norfolk Southern railway line cuts through the valley corridor.
