About this map

The Univ of Montevallo anchors the northwestern portion of this Shelby County landscape, where the Little Cahaba River meanders through Dry Valley. The map details a transition from the structured street grids of Montevallo and Calera to the more dispersed settlements of Minooka, Ocampo, and Wessington. Water sources are abundant throughout the region, ranging from Alexander Springs and Big Spring to the larger Shechi Lakes and J H Oliver Lake further south.

Genealogists will find a significant concentration of burial sites, including the Old Rock Springs Cem, Richardson Randall Cem, and the Salem Cem near Calera. The topographic detail captures the varied drainage patterns of Buxahatchee Cr and Watson Cr as they cut through the terrain south of the Roberta community, providing a clear view of the rural-industrial footprint across the Shelby Co and Chilton Co border.
