2020 Map of Shelby

About this map

Shelby sits at the heart of this landscape, where the convergence of the Shelby, Chilton, and Coosa County lines creates a complex geography of rural communities and water-driven landforms. The eastern boundary is defined by the expansive Lay Lake, which follows the ancient river path through The Narrows and around Turtle Point. This modern survey illustrates how topographic features like Kelley Mtn and Sawyer Cove have influenced the local road network, including the evocative Egg and Butter Rd. Genealogy researchers will find several documented burial grounds, including the Old Shelby Cem, the Shelby Garden of Rest, and the Brasher Cem, providing specific locations for family history work. The presence of Kewahatchie Spring near Kewahatchie highlights the enduring importance of natural water sources in this part of Alabama.
