About this map

The Tallapoosa River winds through this section of Cleburne County, creating a complex drainage network that includes Cahulga Creek, Cedar Creek, and Dynne Creek. The topography is defined by the high ridges of Ross Mtn, Kemp Mountain, and Bald Mountain, while the northwestern portion contains a section of the Talladega National Forest.

Settlement patterns are centered around Heflin in the north and smaller communities like Belltown and Hollis Crossroads. Local history and genealogy are well-represented by several rural burial grounds, including the Baptist Church Cem and Evans Cem, alongside the New Harmony Baptist Church. The dense web of county roads, such as New Harmony Rd and Turkey Heaven Mtn Rd, illustrates how the community navigates the varied elevation of the Talladega highlands.
