The Paleozoic is divided into six periods: the Cambrian, Ordovician, Silurian, Devonian, Carboniferous (in the U.S., this is divided into the Mississippian and Pennsylvanian Periods), and Permian. Most of these names derive from locations where rocks of these ages were first studied.
Highest Point In Alabama - Cheaha Resort State Park. âHighest Point In Alabamaâ Review of Cheaha Resort State Park. This is a great place to spend the day, hike and have a picnic. The tower at the top has a lot of steps but the view at the top is worth it. I would recommend drving up the mountain on the Calhoun Conuty side because the Talladega County side (Munford) is very curvy.
The park features resort facilities and is managed by the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources.HistoryThe state park had its beginnings in 1947, when the Tennessee Valley Authority transferred on Guntersville Reservoir to the state to create what was first known as Little Mountain State Park.
