2014 Map of Alabaster

About this map

Alabaster and its surrounding Shelby County communities are defined by a complex network of residential growth and established rural settlements. The landscape transitions from the developed corridors of Siluria and Verlie near Buck Creek to the outlying areas of Moores Crossroads and Dogwood. Significant transportation infrastructure, including I-65 and the CSX Transportation line, cuts through the terrain near the Shelby County Airport. Local history is preserved in numerous burial grounds such as Still Memorial Cem, Salem Cem, and Nelson Cem, which are scattered throughout the quadrangle from Maylene to Dargin. The topography is marked by the presence of Locust Ridge and Double Mtn in the northeast, while the Little Cahaba River and Camp Br drain the southern and eastern portions of the region, illustrating the area's mix of suburban expansion and persistent rural character.
