2014 Map of Sleeping Giant

About this map

Renfroe Mtn and the namesake Sleeping Giant landform dominate this central Talladega County landscape, where the ridges of the Appalachian foothills meet the creek-fed valleys below. The area is marked by numerous small settlements and family-named points of interest, including Renfroe, Mardisville, and Howells Cove. Water features like Talladega Cr and Logan Martin Lake at Collins Bend define the drainage patterns that shaped the local geography. Genealogists will find a wealth of specific data here, as the map identifies several burial grounds such as Mardisville Cem, Allen Sims Cem, and the Freeze Cem near Jonesview. This 2014 survey documents the modern layout of Talladega, showing the expansion of roads like the Old Talladega Hwy and Plant Rd as they navigate the hollows of Dark Hollow and Rocky Hollow.
