About this map

Talladega National Forest dominates this section of the West Alabama woodlands, where the headwaters of numerous creeks converge near the Hale Co Bibb Co line. The recreational landscape centers on Payne Lake, featuring a dedicated Recreation Area, Campground, and Picnic Area. This 1980 survey captures a region defined by its timber and water resources, with an Old Railroad Grade tracing a path through the northeast corner, reflecting the area's history of logging and transport. Local life is anchored by landmarks such as Pine Flat Ch, Pisgah Cem, and the Payne Lookout Tower, which stands as a sentinel over the undulating terrain. The presence of Keeton Corner and the South Sandy Hunter Camp highlights the area's long-standing connection to outdoor pursuits and rural settlement within the forest boundaries.
