About this map

The Flatrock River carves a winding path through this portion of Shelby County, anchoring a landscape defined by small rural settlements and a dense network of country roads. Waldron serves as a primary hub, situated near the intersection of several local drainages including Conns Creek and Deer Creek. To the southeast, the village of Saint Paul straddles the river, showing a concentration of industrial storage and rail activity along the Conrail line.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, from the St Vincents Sch in the north to the Pleasant Hill Ch and Wesley Chapel further south. The map documents several cemeteries, such as Vanpelt Cem and Reed Cem, which are scattered throughout the agricultural tracts. Newer recreational and residential developments like Pleasure Valley, Sleepy Hollow, and Camp Flat Rock appear alongside older established hamlets like Geneva and Germantown.
