About this map

Vincent and its surrounding Shelby County terrain are defined by a complex network of waterways and ridges. The landscape transitions from the heights of Black Jack Ridge and Quarry Mountain down to the shores of Lay Lake. A significant number of localized burial grounds, including the Old Sterrett Cemetery, Macedonia Cemetery, and the Raley Family Cemetery, offer essential geographic markers for genealogists tracing family roots in this part of Alabama.

Settlement patterns follow the winding paths of Kelly Creek and Spring Creek, with centers of activity at the Vincent Post Office and Sterrett. The map details various water management features, such as the Acton Lake Dam and Crim Lake Dam, which illustrate the modification of the local hydrology for recreation and industry. These details provide a clear view of the rural infrastructure and community layout in the early 21st century.
