Hi Stephen,
 
As far as I'm aware-The predefined albums Selfies, etc, will always be shown in 
Photos, if you have any items that do match the criteria for these albums. 

You can only remove these albums by deleting the photos or videos inside these 
albums from your  library, or by modifying these photos or videos, so they do 
no longer match the criteria.

The Places album is the current way to show photos on a Map.  If you have any 
photo taken with the iPhone in your library it will probably have a location 
assigned, if your iPhone is using location services or has GPS.

Cheers,
Ronni
