About this map

Columbiana serves as the focal point of this Shelby County landscape, with the historic Shelby County Courthouse marking the center of the local community. The terrain is defined by the prominent ridge of Columbiana Mtn, which separates the valley settlements. To the southeast, the waters of Lay Lake reach into the quadrangle via Little Beeswax Creek, creating a complex shoreline that interfaces with rural crossroads like Kingdom Crossroads.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the region, from the Crumpton Family Cem to the Old Chapel Cem near Wilsonville. The map also reflects modern local aviation with Tri-L Acres Airpark and Lazy Eight Airpark LLC. Other small communities such as Hillsdale, Nelson, and Shelby are connected by a network of creeks, including Waxahatchee Creek and Bulley Creek, which have shaped the settlement patterns of these central Alabama foothills.
