2018 Map of Piedmont NW

About this map

Knightens Crossroads and Estes Crossroads anchor the rural landscape of northern Calhoun County, where the terrain shifts from the ridges of Colvin Mtn and Saddler Mtn toward the creek valleys. This 2018 survey details a network of springs and watercourses, including Hendon Spring, Big Willow Spring, and the winding Tallassechatchee Cr. For genealogists and local researchers, the map identifies several significant burial grounds such as Taylors Chapel Cem, Lebanon Cem, and Littlejohn Cem, which provide clues to early family settlements in the region. The southeastern portion is dominated by the foothills of Choccolocco Mtn and the protected lands of the Talladega National Forest, while the outskirts of Piedmont and Piedmont Springs show the modern development of these historic crossroads communities.
