2018 Map of Ozan

About this map

The boundary between Shelby and Chilton Counties divides this central Alabama landscape, where the southern outskirts of Calera give way to the rural communities of Ozan and Springs Junction. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Buxahatchee Creek and Watson Cr, which carve through the wooded hills and hollows like Sawyer Cove. This area preserves a high density of small family and community burial grounds, providing a significant resource for genealogical research. Prominent sites include the Dover, Miller, and Armstrong cemeteries in the northern reaches, while Archers Chapel and New Hope mark the southern approach toward Jemison. The map also captures several local reservoirs, including Mitchell Lake and the Gulf States Columbiana SW Lake, which serve as landmarks in the evolving rural-residential corridor along Interstate 65.
