About this map

Sylacauga and its northwestern outskirts are anchored by a industrial-agricultural landscape defined by marble quarrying and aviation. The city center and the adjacent industrial district of Mignon occupy the eastern edge, while the legacy of the local stone industry is visible at Gantts Quarry and Gantts Junction. Further north, the terrain shifts into the residential and rural clusters of Odena, Oak Grove, and Childersburg.

Kahatchee Mtn and Crumplers Peak dominate the western portion of the quadrangle, with numerous small waterways like Kahatchee Cr and Cedar Cr draining toward the lower elevations. Local history is preserved through several family and community burial grounds, including Allen Cem, Odena Cem, and Rising Star Cem. The transportation corridor is marked by the presence of the Merkel Field Sylacauga Municipal Airport, which sits centrally between the city and the northern settlements.
