2014 Map of Shelby

About this map

Shelby serves as a vital transportation hub in this High Plains region, where the commercial core is defined by the Great Northern Railway Overpass and an intricate grid of streets including Main St and Galena St. The landscape beyond the city limits is characterized by a series of deep drainage features, notably Mead Coulee and Hall Coulee, which cut through the surrounding ranching and agricultural lands. North of the city, Lake Shel-oole provides a significant water feature in an otherwise arid environment dominated by ephemeral drainages like W Fork Willow Cr. The infrastructure of the early 21st century is well-represented by the Shelby Airport and a network of section-line roads such as Oilmont Rd S and Benjamin Rd. Genealogists may find interest in the location of the Shelby Cem, situated on the southern edge of the town center near the Marias River valley.
