About this map

Alabaster and its surrounding Shelby County communities are defined by a complex network of residential expansion and preserved rural heritage. The terrain is marked by the winding courses of Buck Creek and the Little Cahaba River, which carve through the Cahaba Valley and past prominent elevations like Double Mtn and Locust Ridge. The map documents the spatial relationship between established centers like Pelham and Calera and smaller, localized settlements such as Siluria, Saginaw, and Underwood.

For genealogists and local historians, the sheet is exceptionally dense with burial sites, including the Still Memorial Cem, Goodson Cem, and Salem Cem. The presence of both the Shelby County Airport and the smaller Flying X Ranch Airport highlights the mix of municipal infrastructure and private aviation that characterizes this part of central Alabama. From the industrial remnants at Dargin to the residential streets of Maylene, the survey provides a precise look at the 21st-century landscape.
