About this map

The growing communities of Westover and Chelsea are the focal points of this contemporary landscape in Shelby County. The terrain is defined by the prominent ridge of Double Mountain and Straight Ridge to the north, which channel the headwaters of the Yellowleaf Creek system. This network of waterways, including Little Creek, North Fork Yellowleaf Creek, and Muddy Prong, illustrates the drainage patterns that have long shaped the valley's development and road placement.

For local historians and genealogists, the map reveals a dense distribution of family and community burial grounds, such as Quinn Cem, Walton Cem Number 2, and Kirkland Cem. The proximity of Prospect Baptist Church Cem and Union Cem to the modern residential corridors highlights the enduring legacy of early rural congregations. Along the southern edge, the Tri-L Acres Airpark and the residential clusters around Caldwell Lake reflect the area's more recent expansion while preserving its historical rural character.
