About this map

Mulga Mine and the surrounding industrial landscape dominate this 1959 survey of western Birmingham. The area is characterized by a dense network of coal-related infrastructure, including numerous strip mines, tailings piles, and tipples that serve the Southern Railway and Birmingham Southern RR. The central feature, Bayview Lake, is surrounded by distinct company towns and residential settlements like Docena, Edgewater, and Mulga. These communities are supported by a thorough social infrastructure of local institutions, from Mulga Sch to Crumley Chapel.
