2024 Map of Sylacauga East

About this map

Sylacauga and its eastern surroundings occupy the transition from the city's residential streets into the dense woodlands of the Talladega National Forest. This modern record reveals a landscape where historical burial grounds and rural settlements like Oldfield and Sycamore remain significant landmarks. Significant water features include the impounded Lake Howard and the Tallaseehatchee Cr Watershed, while the eastern terrain is defined by the steep rises of Rebecca Mtn and Herds Mtn. Researchers will find a high density of small family and community cemeteries, such as the Cook Place Cem and Corinth Missionary Church Cem, which serve as genealogical anchors across the rolling topography. The presence of the CSX rail line and Hickman Quarry Rd points to the industrial foundations that have long supported the local economy alongside the timber resources of the national forest.
