2020 Map of Harpersville

About this map

Harpersville and Wilsonville serve as key anchors in this Shelby County landscape, where the Coosa River drainage shapes the terrain via Yellowleaf Creek and the southern expanse of Lay Lake. The settlement pattern is defined by several rural junctions including Gallups Crossroads, Chancellor Crossroads, and Klein, each surrounded by a high density of family and community burial grounds such as Vincent Cem, Arkwright Cem, and the Bradford Cem. This 2020 record reflects the area's transition into the modern era while maintaining its established rural footprint, evidenced by the numerous cemeteries and small springs like Abbot Springs and Thompson Spring that have persisted through generations. The map provides clear detail of the Shelby and Talladega county line as it follows the path of the river through Cosper Bend, identifying local landmarks like Prince Island and Smith Island along the waterway.
