About this map

Sylacauga and its industrial western outskirts are defined by the intersection of specialized extraction and transportation networks. The map documents the extensive footprint of Gantts Quarry, a cornerstone of the local marble industry, alongside the community of Gantts Junction. Settlement patterns follow the low ridges and creek valleys, with established neighborhoods like Mignon, Walco, and Oak Grove clustered near the urban core, while more rural hamlets such as Zubers, Marble Hill, and Odena dot the northern landscape.

Topographic prominent features include the elevation of Kahatchee Mountain at Crumplers Peak, which is crowned by the Kahatchee Lookout Tower. Genealogists will find several burial grounds distributed across the area, including Allen Cemetery, Odena Cemetery, and Rising Star Cemetery. The hydrological landscape is shaped by the winding Tallaseehatchee Creek and the southern flow of Cedar Creek, with small impoundments like Thomas Lake and Lake Louise providing local landmarks.
