1983 Map of Shelby

About this map

Shelby dominates the landscape as the county seat in the early 1980s, where the convergence of the Southern and Seaboard railroads shaped the city's industrial and commercial core. The map documents the city's mid-century expansion with numerous community landmarks like Royster Memorial Park, Plaster Park, and the Shelby Municipal Airport to the south. Educational and social infrastructure is deeply mapped, featuring sites from Northside Sch to the Twelve Oaks Academy.
