About this map

Talladega National Forest dominates this landscape, where the ridges of Dugger Mountain and Choccolocco Mountain define the topography of Cleburne and Calhoun Counties. Small settlements and rural community centers like Liberty Hill, Grantley, and Burns are scattered throughout the northern portion of the quadrangle. The map reveals a network of mountain recreation and conservation, featuring the Pinhoti Trail and the Choccolocco Ranger Station near Coleman Lake. Local history is preserved at sites such as Grantley Ch, Shoal Creek Ch, and the Grantley Cem. The presence of the Dugger Mountain Wilderness and the Choccolocco Wildlife Management Area underscores the region's managed timber and wildlife resources at the turn of the 21st century. The Skyway Motorway provides a high-elevation corridor along the ridges, connecting various landmarks like the Laurel Trail Shelter and providing access to the deep drainages of Choccolocco Creek and Shoal Creek.
