2011 Map of Sylacauga East

About this map

Sylacauga serves as the focal point for this eastern Talladega County survey, where the urban grid gives way to a network of creeks and small settlements. The landscape is defined by the drainage of Tallaseehatchee Creek and its many tributaries, including Emauhee Creek and Crooked Creek. This era of water management is visible through the Tallaseehatchee Creek Watershed N and the presence of Howard Dam, which forms Lake Howard. Local genealogical interests are well-served by the inclusion of multiple burial grounds such as Evergreen Cemetery, Westview Cemetery, and Summer Hill Cemetery. To the north and east, the terrain rises toward Heards Mountain and Rebecca Mountain, separated by natural passages like Heards Gap. Smaller communities like Liberty Hill, Sunrise, and The Moon are linked by rural routes such as Hickman Quarry Rd and Doc Harris Rd, reflecting the scattered residential patterns outside the main town center.
