2020 Map of Sleeping Giant

About this map

Talladega Creek snakes through this landscape, providing a hydrological anchor for a series of communities and family landmarks just west of Talladega. The area is defined by its varied terrain, from the prominent ridge of Renfroe Mtn and the distinct peak of Sleeping Giant to the depression of Dark Hollow. Settlement patterns are evident in the cluster of names like Renfroe, Barclay, and Mardisville, where local heritage is preserved in numerous family and community burial grounds including Thornhill Cem and Hepzibah Cem. To the north, the waters of Logan Martin Lake and the Curry Br inlet mark the transition toward Lincoln, while the eastern edge is characterized by the slopes of Shocco Mtn and the historic grounds of Shocco Springs.
