1892 Map of Talladega

About this map

Coosa River ferry crossings and early Alabama industry define this late nineteenth-century landscape. The Rebecca Mountains or Blue Ridge and Horn Mountains divide the terrain, with local movement facilitated by numerous ferries such as Chancelor Ferry and Glover Ferry. Agriculture and milling are central to the economy, evidenced by several water-powered sites including Riddle Mill on Dry Creek and Robeson Mill near the river.
