About this map

The Tallapoosa River winds through the northern and western sections of this landscape, flanked by the eastern boundary of the Talladega National Forest. This terrain is defined by prominent peaks including Ross Mountain, Kemp Mtn, and Bald Mtn, which overlook a network of tributary creeks such as Chulafinnee Cr and Dunne Cr. The settlement of Heflin is situated in the north, while smaller community centers like Belltown sit tucked away near the river bends.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by several rural burial grounds, including New Harmony Cem and Beason Grove Cem. The map traces important river crossings at Ross Bridge, Evans Bridge, and Denman Bridge, reflecting the historic dependence on fixed bridge points to navigate the waterway. These features, combined with the presence of Hepsabah Cem in the south, provide a detailed look at the rural infrastructure and settlement patterns of Cleburne County.
