About this map

Shelton State Community College stands at the northern edge of this landscape, where the southern reaches of Tuscaloosa transition into a mosaic of creek bottoms and low ridges. The geography is defined by the winding course of Big Sandy Creek, which creates a complex hydrology featuring Englewood Swamp and numerous shoals such as Eagle Shoals and Log Shoals. Small rural communities and family-named landmarks like Maxwell, Hull, and Maxwell Bend are scattered across the terrain, connected by a network of local roads such as Old Greensboro Rd.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of community burial grounds, including Little Sandy Cem, Oak Grove Cem, and Friendship Cem. To the southeast, the terrain rises into the protected timberlands of the Talladega National Forest, while the southwestern corner touches the edge of Moundville at the Hale County line. The map illustrates a contemporary Southern landscape where institutional growth and federal forest land meet traditional river-bottom settlements.
