2020 Map of Bounds Lake

About this map

Shelby Springs serves as a historic focal point in this portion of Shelby County, noted particularly for the Shelby Springs Confederate Cem located south of the main settlement area. The landscape transitions from the residential expansions of Alabaster and Calera in the west toward the more rural surroundings of Columbiana to the east. Water features are numerous throughout the quadrangle, including the sprawling Kimberly- Clark Lake and several family-named or purpose-named bodies such as Four Wing Lake and Nazarene Church Lake. Ridge systems like Stony Ridge and Locust Ridge define the local topography, while numerous small cemeteries such as Old Lynch Cem and Blackmon Cem provide essential data points for genealogical research in this rapidly developing region of central Alabama.
