2018 Map of Piedmont

About this map

The city of Piedmont sits at the foot of the southern Appalachian ridges, serving as a hub where the valley floors meet the protected lands of the Talladega National Forest. This survey captures the transition between the developed street grid of the town center, including Memorial Garden Cem, and the rural outposts of Ladiga and Vigo. The landscape is defined by the northeast-to-southwest orientation of its ridges, such as Dugger Mtn and Choccolocco Mtn, which frame the paths of Terrapin Creek and Nances Creek. Local history is preserved in small family and community burial grounds like Goshen Cem and Ladiga Cem. The presence of the Pinhoti NRT trail following the high ground of Oakey Mtn and Wilson Ridge illustrates how this corner of Alabama balances its industrial and agricultural roots with modern conservation and recreation.
