From this viewshed, you are looking over the Talladega
National Forest. The federal government purchased the
land in 1936 as part of an effort to restore clear-cut
timberlands and farmlands no longer capable of
producing crops. The contiguous Shoal Creek and
Talladega Districts are located in northeastern Alabama in
portions of Cherokee, Calhoun, Cleburne, Talladega, and
Clay Counties. The districts straddle the Piedmont
Upland and the Alabama Valley and Ridge physiographic
sections. The forest topography consists of upland hills
and low mountains.
The Pinhoti National Trail System runs for 140 miles through
the Talladega National Forest. Also the 29-mile Talladega
Scenic Drive runs through the Shoal Creek Ringer District to
access Alabama's highest point, Cheaha Mountain (2,407
feet), located within Cheaha State Park. The 7,245-acre
Cheaha Wilderness was designated in 1983, and the 9,222-
acre Dugger Mountain Wilderness, named for the 2,140-foot
Dugger Mountain, was established in 1999.
