About this map

Edwardsville stands near the eastern boundary of this Cleburne County landscape, where the rugged elevations of the Talladega National Forest dominate the terrain. Significant high points like Dugger Mountain and Rattlesnake Mtn rise above the drainage basins of Choccolocco Creek and Shoal Creek. Small communities and named crossroads such as Grantley, Liberty Hill, and Burns are connected by a network of rural routes including Rabbittown RD and Co RD 55.

For genealogists and local historians, the sheet preserves the locations of family-named landmarks and resting places, such as Grimes Cem, Stead Cem, and Dunn Cem. Outdoor recreation is a defining characteristic of the area, evidenced by the Dugger Mountain Wilderness and the winding path of the Pinhoti National Recreation Trail. The inclusion of smaller water features like Cane Creek and Coleman Lake illustrates the localized water system that shaped early settlement patterns along the mountain foothills.
