USGS Topo · Published 1980About this map
Shelby serves as the focal point of this 1980 survey, where the Louisville and Nashville railroad cuts through the center of town. The landscape is defined by the expansive waters of Lay Lake, created by the impoundment of the Coosa River. This water body reaches deep into the terrain via fingers like Waxahatchee Creek and Kewahatchie Creek, creating a highly irregular shoreline that dictated local settlement patterns and access.
