2020 Map of Aldrich

About this map

Montevallo and its university grounds serve as a primary hub where the hills of Central Alabama meet a complex network of creeks and historic crossings. This 2020 record of the region captures the meeting point of Bibb, Shelby, and Chilton counties, a landscape defined by its cemeteries and small settlements like Aldrich, Brierfield, and Ashby. Waterways including the Little Cahaba River, Mahan Creek, and Furnace Br snake through the terrain, historically supporting the early industrial and agricultural foundations of these communities. Genealogists will find a dense concentration of burial sites, from the Six Mile Cem in the southwest to the Cahaba Valley Cem and Carlton Hill Cem further north. The map details the local road network, such as Marvel Rd and Montevallo Rd, which links established town centers to the outlying rural reaches that have sustained the area's character for generations.
