2018 Map of Greenwood

About this map

Bessemer and Hoover anchor this modern landscape, where urban expansion meets the ridge-and-valley terrain of the Jefferson Co Shelby Co line. In the southern portion, the Cahaba River winds through Mossboro and Helena, while the industrial legacy of the region is evidenced by smaller settlements like Raimund and Bamford. The map serves as a vital record for genealogists, preserving the locations of numerous family and community burial grounds including Sadlers Cem, Shiloh Cem, and George Cem. Notable topographic landmarks such as Shades Mountain, Bluff Ridge, and Bee Mtn shape the residential and commercial corridors, including the path of I-459 as it cuts through Morgan and Greenwood. The juxtaposition of established neighborhoods like Shady Brook with the operational Bessemer Airport provides a clear view of the area's contemporary development pattern.
