2020 Map of Alabaster

About this map

Alabaster and its surrounding communities are shown here at a moment of significant suburban expansion and infrastructure development in central Alabama. The map documents the geographical layout of established neighborhoods and newer developments across Opossum Valley and Cahaba Valley, featuring a high concentration of local history markers like Still Memorial Cem, Ozley Cem, and Nelson Cem. The landscape is defined by its natural water sources, including Griffin Spring and Blue Spring, which once supported the early settlements of Siluria and Saginaw. The presence of the Alabama National Cem in the southwest near Montevallo and the centrally located Shelby County Airport highlight the area's modern regional importance, while labels for Old Maylene and Stems provide clues for those tracing the evolution of Shelby County's residential and industrial corridors.
