About this map

The Talladega National Forest dominates this section of eastern Alabama, where the ridgelines of the Appalachian foothills provide a backdrop for scattered rural settlements. Small communities like Liberty Hill, Grantley, and Burns are linked by a network of county roads and historic routes such as Rabbittown Rd. The presence of several family-named burial sites, including Dunn Cem, Grimes Cem, and Stead Cem, indicates long-standing local ties to the land. The landscape is carved by numerous watercourses, with Choccolocco Creek and Shoal Creek winding through the timberland. Recreational infrastructure is prominent, centered on Coleman Lake and the winding path of the Pinhoti National Recreation Trail, alongside color-coded equestrian paths like the Blue Horse Trail and Red Horse Trail. High points such as Dugger Mtn and Rattlesnake Mtn offer significant vertical relief in this heavily forested terrain.
