About this map

Talladega Springs and the surrounding river valley sit at a tri-county junction where Shelby, Talladega, and Coosa counties meet. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Coosa River, which expands into Lay Lake along the western edge of the quadrangle. This area is characterized by several small, established communities and crossroads that maintain their distinct identities through local landmarks such as the Talladega Springs Cem and Marble Valley Memorial Cem.

High points like Kelley Mtn and Chalybeate Mtn overlook a complex network of creeks including Peckerwood Cr and Slaughter Cr. The presence of Sulphur Spring and the Sulphur Mountain Gap suggests a geography historically shaped by its namesake mineral springs. In the south, Marble Valley serves as a notable anchor for local history researchers, while the northeastern corner shows the residential development of Shelby Shores along the lakefront.
