2018 Map of Adamsville

About this map

Mulga Mine and the industrial corridors of the BNSF Railway anchor this landscape on the northwestern edge of the Birmingham metropolitan area. The terrain is marked by numerous family and community landmarks, including Bivens Chapel Cem near Brookside and Glasgow Hill Cem on the ridge overlooking Graysville. The presence of Bonham Airport near Maytown and the water-filled expanse of Bayview Lake reflect the diverse land use in this part of Jefferson County. Transport networks define the geography, from the Birmingport Rd corridor to the rail intersections at Crockard Junction and Edgewater Junction. This survey reveals the dense settlement patterns of communities like Forestdale, Adamsville, and Pratt City, while identifying smaller locales such as MacDonald Hollow and Shady Grove. Genealogical value is found in the many church sites, such as Crumley Chapel and McDonald Chapel.
