2014 Map of Wilsonville

About this map

Wilsonville serves as a northern anchor where the Coosa River bends through the borderlands of Shelby and Talladega counties. This 2014 landscape is defined by the winding waters of Lay Lake, which creates a complex shoreline of inlets and points like Bullocks Islands. Settlement patterns follow the river and local ridge lines, with smaller communities such as Shelby Shores, Kahatchee, and Fayetteville scattered across the undulating terrain. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family-named burial sites, including Wilsonville Cem, Kahatchee Cem, Heaslet Cem, and the riverfront Ft Williams Cem. The map also captures local natural landmarks like Chalybeate Spring and the elevations of the Katala Hills and Cohabie Mtn, illustrating the varied topography of central Alabama just east of the river's main channel.
