About this map

Talladega National Forest encompasses the majority of this landscape in eastern Alabama, where the highlands of Dugger Mtn and Rattlesnake Mtn dominate the topography. Small pockets of private settlement remain visible along the borders of the federal land, including the community of Edwardsville and smaller locales like Grantley and Liberty Hill. Family history is preserved in several burial grounds such as Grimes Cem, Stead Cem, and Dunn Cem, which are scattered among the ridges and valleys.

Water plays a central role in the area's geography, with Choccolocco Cr and Shoal Cr winding through the forest floor. Recreational and resource management sites like Coleman Lake and Choccolocco Cr Lake Number 7 highlight the modern use of this heavily wooded region. Transportation is defined by a mix of local routes like Rabbittown Rd and the high-elevation Skyway Mtwy, providing access across the complex terrain near the Calhoun and Cleburne county line.
