About this map

The Talladega Battleground anchors the western edge of this 2011 survey, reflecting the deep regional memory of the War of 1812. The landscape shows a complex arrangement of residential clusters and named hills that suggest a history of distinct neighborhood identities, from College Hill and Nances Hill to the community at Brecon. The southern portion of the map is defined by the winding course of Talladega Creek, which passes through Moberley Bottom and under the Waldo Covered Bridge.

Industry and land management are visible through features like Marble Quarry Rd and the Talladega District Ranger Office. Significant water management systems, including the Mump Creek Reservoir and Lake Socapatoy, illustrate how the local geography has been adapted for resource control. Genealogists will find value in the distribution of burial grounds across the area, including Oak Hill Cemetery and the Needmore Cemetery near Jonesville.
