About this map

The eastern edges of Sylacauga give way to the wooded ridges of the Talladega National Forest in this recent survey of east-central Alabama. The landscape is defined by the transition from urban centers and industrial corridors along the Talladega Hwy to the significant elevations of Rebecca Mtn. Smaller settlements such as Sycamore, Emauhee, Chico, and Oldfield are scattered along the rail and road networks that parallel Tallaseehatchee Cr.

Water management is a visible priority across the terrain, evidenced by Tallaseehatchee Cr Watershed Number 1 and its counterpart Tallaseehatchee Cr Watershed Number 2. In the southern reaches, the community of Hollins sits near the crossing of the Talladega Co and Clay Co line. Local family and community history is preserved at Evergreen Cem, Westview Cem, and the remote Summer Hill Cem located within the national forest boundaries.
