2014 Map of Bounds Lake

About this map

Shelby Springs anchors the southern portion of this landscape, a site historically significant for its mineral waters and as the location of the Shelby Springs Confederate Cem. The terrain is defined by a series of north-south ridges including Locust Ridge and Stony Ridge, which separate the various drainage basins of Big Cr and Wolf Cr. Small rural settlements like Joinertown and the western edge of Columbiana are connected by a network of county roads such as Joiner Town Rd and Rocky Ridge Rd. The area is notably dotted with small private lakes and reservoirs, including Bounds Lake, Kimberly Clark Lake, and Green Valley Lake, reflecting a pattern of modern residential and recreational development among the hollows like Butler Hollow. Genealogists will find several remote burial sites, including the Old Lynch Cem and the uniquely named Nearest Grave Cem.
