2018 Map of Wilsonville

About this map

Lay Lake and the Coosa River define the winding border between Shelby and Talladega counties in this topographic study. The landscape is dotted with small communities like Wilsonville, Fayetteville, and Talladega Springs, illustrating the settled character of the river valley. Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, including several named burial grounds such as the Wilsonville Cem and the uniquely named Soldiers Graveyard Cem. The terrain rises from the riverbanks to local peaks such as Cohabie Mtn and the Katala Hills, while several springs, including Chalybeate Spring and Deans Spring, indicate the natural water sources that likely influenced early settlement patterns. Transport through the area relies on a network of routes such as the Childersburg Fayette Hwy and Marble Valley Rd, connecting these river-adjacent towns.
