2014 Map of Englewood

About this map

Shelton State Community College and the surrounding communities of Englewood and Little Sandy define this part of Tuscaloosa County. The landscape follows the descent toward the Black Warrior River, where riverine features like Maxwell Bend, Kings Mountain Bar, and Eagle Shoals reflect the region's historical reliance on waterway navigation. To the south, the terrain transitions into the Talladega National Forest, with Big Sandy Creek and South Sandy Creek cutting through the timberland. Genealogical researchers can locate several key burial sites across the quadrangle, including Little Sandy Cem, Big Sandy Cem, and Hulls Cem. The southern edge reaches the outskirts of Moundville at the Hale County line, highlighting the industrial footprint of the Carthage Branch railroad near McGowins Bluff.
