About this map

Talladega National Forest dominates this landscape in eastern Alabama, where the ridgelines of the Appalachian foothills create a complex network of equestrian and hiking trails. The terrain is defined by prominent peaks such as Dugger Mtn and Rattlesnake Mtn, which overlook the headwaters of Choccolocco Cr and Shoal Cr. The map documents a rugged interior crisscrossed by named routes including the White Horse Trail, Blue Horse Trail, and the long-distance Pinhoti NRT.

Small communities and rural settlements like Grantley, Liberty Hill, and Burns are scattered along the periphery, particularly in the northern sections. For genealogists, the map identifies several local burial sites including Grimes Cem and Dunn Cem. The eastern edge shows the approach to Edwardsville, illustrating the intersection of forest service management and established rural townships in Cleburne County during the early 21st century.
