2015 Map of Shelby

About this map

The town of Shelby and the village of Winstonville anchor this 2015 study of Bolivar County's fertile alluvial landscape. The terrain is defined by a intricate system of winding waterways including Turkey Pen Bayou, Bogue Phalia, and Little Bradford Bayou, reflecting the historic drainage patterns essential to the Delta's agricultural development. The map meticulously records the region's spiritual and family history through the placement of Turners Chapel Cem, Peters Rock Cem, Shelby Cem, and Hall Cem. Transportation and commerce are represented by the corridor along N Broadway St and aviation facilities like Shelby Air Service and Christmas Airport. Local genealogists will find value in the specific naming of rural routes such as Blue Cain Rd and Ferretti Rd, which connect the scattered homesteads and fields that have sustained this community for generations.
