Helena and its neighboring Shelby County communities sit at a transition where the urban reaches of Hoover and Pelham meet the ridgelines of the Appalachian foothills. The Cahaba River winds through the center of this landscape, flanked by significant elevations like New Hope Mtn and Shades Mtn. The map reveals a complex infrastructure of modern development intertwined with older rural foundations, marked by several local burial sites such as Acton Cem, Miller Cem, and Oldham Cem.
