About this map

The Talladega County Courthouse stands as the central landmark of this historic Alabama city, surrounded by established neighborhoods and academic institutions like Talladega College. The map reveals a landscape defined by significant elevation changes, from the heights of Bald Mtn and Gents Mtn down to the fertile lowlands of Moberley Bottom along the Talladega Creek. The city's growth is traced through its distinct districts, including Nances Hill, Needmore, and the industrial-residential area of Bemiston.

South and east of the city, the terrain transitions into the Talladega National Forest, where the community of Waldo is located near the landmark Waldo Covered Bridge. The drainage patterns of Kelly Cr and Weisingel Br highlight the historical reliance on local waterways for early industry, such as at Allison Mills. Traditional burial grounds like Oak Hill Cem and Stockdale Cem provide essential anchor points for genealogical research in this part of Talladega County.
