About this map

Harpersville serves as the central hub of this Shelby County landscape, situated where Highway 280 meets local routes like Tanyard Rd. The map reveals a high density of family and community burial grounds, such as Vincent Cem, Masters Cem, and the Wallace Cemeteries, which offer significant value for genealogical research in this part of Alabama. The eastern boundary is defined by the winding course of the Coosa River, where the landscape transitions into the waters of Lay Lake. This riverine environment is marked by distinct features like Smith Island and Cosper Bend, while the interior is crisscrossed by numerous tributaries including Yellowleaf Cr and Walthall Br. To the south, small communities like Klein and Chancellor Crossroads sit near the river, connected by historical routes like Chancellor Ferry Rd.
