About this map

Shelby Springs anchors the southern portion of this landscape, a site with deep roots in the region's mid-19th-century history. The map highlights several significant burial grounds for genealogical research, including the Shelby Springs Confederate Cem, Old Lynch Cem, and the Blackmon Cem south of Columbiana. These sites reflect the long-standing settlement patterns that predate the expansion of modern Alabaster and Calera.

Water features like Wolf Cr and Waxahatchee Cr drain the varied terrain of Locust Ridge and Stony Ridge, while numerous small lakes such as Kimberly-Clark Lake and Bounds Lake are scattered throughout the quadrangle. The road network, including historic routes like Tuscaloosa Rd, shows the transition from rural land use to suburban development, though family-named landmarks like Butler Hollow remain clearly marked.
