2001 Map of Piedmont

About this map

Piedmont sits at the intersection of industry and the landscape as of the turn of the 21st century, serving as a hub for both the surrounding agricultural crossroads and the timberlands of the Talladega National Forest. The map shows a transition from the urban grid of the city, featuring Bethune High Sch and the Paramount Memorial Garden Cem, to the protected heights of the Dugger Mountain Wilderness. To the north, the landscape is defined by the winding course of Terrapin Creek and small rural communities like Spring Garden and McFrey Crossroads. These smaller settlements are anchored by local institutions such as Philadelphia Ch and Spring Garden Sch. The presence of the Pinhoti Trail and multiple ridges like Chinquapin Ridge and Augusta Mine Ridge highlights the region's topography, which historically supported mining operations and remains a focal point for modern conservation.
