2021 Map of Oak Level

About this map

Talladega National Forest encompasses large portions of this landscape along the Alabama-Georgia border, where the headwaters of numerous creeks carve through the terrain of Cleburne County. The settlement of Edwardsville and the community at Oak Level are connected by a network of rural routes, including Co RD 49 and Co RD 283. This 2021 survey details several legacy burial grounds such as Mars Hill Cem and Mount Perry Cem, which serve as vital markers for genealogical research in these wooded uplands. The drainage patterns of Terrapin Cr and Muscadine Cr define the local topography, while the proximity to the state line near Roe Cem illustrates the trans-border connections of the rural population. Small clusters at Piney Woods and Coldwater remain centered around intersections of county roads, preserving a footprint of long-standing residential patterns within the national forest boundaries.
