About this map

The Cahaba River winds through this section of Shelby County, Alabama, defining a landscape marked by small settlements and the historical traces of local industry. Distinctive communities such as Sawmill Town, Gurnee Junction, and Marvel are documented alongside numerous family and community landmarks. The topography rises toward the high ground of Pea Ridge and the Shades Mountain range, with several named creeks like Piney Woods Cr and Savage Cr draining the timbered ridges.

Local history and genealogy are well-represented by several recorded burial sites, including Antioch Cem Number 2, Linholm Cem, and Macedonia Cem. The map provides a detailed view of the road network connecting established areas like Brantleyville and Anita with more rural clusters like Eddings Town. The transition between Jefferson, Shelby, and Bibb counties is clearly delineated, showing the convergence of political boundaries in this river-and-ridge environment.
