2018 Map of Englewood

About this map

Shelton State Community College stands at the northern edge of this landscape where the suburban expansion of Tuscaloosa meets the rural reaches of the Talladega National Forest. The geography is defined by the winding course of Big Sandy Creek and the intricate riverine features of the Black Warrior River, including Maxwell Bend and Tussels Bar. Smaller communities like Englewood, Maxwell, and Hull are scattered across the terrain, each anchored by local landmarks such as Little Sandy Cem and Big Sandy Cem. The transition from the dense wetlands of Englewood Swamp to the upland rises of Kings Mountain illustrates the varied topography south of the city. Genealogists will find a high density of rural burial grounds, from Gilgal Cem in the northeast to Hulls Cem further south, providing a detailed record of the families who settled this part of Alabama.
