2020 Map of Talladega Springs

About this map

Talladega Springs and the surrounding valley terrain highlight a landscape defined by its proximity to Lay Lake and the various mineral springs that once fueled local interest. The settlement patterns follow the winding paths of Peckerwood Creek and its many tributaries, such as Paint Creek and Chalybeate Creek. Local history is anchored by several burial grounds, including the Talladega Springs Cemetery and the Marble Valley Memorial Cemetery, which serve as genealogical markers for the families of Marble Valley and Blue Springs. Significant elevation shifts are marked by features like Kelley Mountain and the gap at Sulphur Mountain Gap, illustrating the intersection of the Piedmont and the river-fed plains. The complex network of local roads, from Old Fayetteville Road to Marble Valley Road, connects these disparate settlements and crossroads across county lines.
