2011 Map of Montevallo

About this map

The University of Montevallo anchor the western edge of this 2011 survey, marking a transition from the academic center into the more sparsely settled valleys of Shelby County. The landscape is defined by the Little Cahaba River and its various tributaries, including Dry Creek and Buxahatchee Creek, which carve through the region's topography. Small settlements like Roberta, Valley Junction, and Ocampo are scattered across the terrain, connected by a network of county roads. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites including Session Cemetery, Richardson-Randall Cemetery, and the Old Rock Springs Cemetery. To the east, the city of Calera shows a more structured grid, featuring the Calera Post Office and Salem Church. The presence of Camp Dawson and various dams like the J H Oliver Lake Dam indicate a landscape shaped for both utility and recreation.
