1993 Map of Adamsville
USGS Topo · Published 1998About this map
Mulga Mine and the industrial corridors of the Southern Railway define the landscape north of Birmingham during the late twentieth century. This map reveals a complex interplay between residential growth and the region's mining heritage, centered around settlements like Adamsville and Graysville. The presence of the Birmingham Southern RR and multiple rail junctions such as Crockard Junction and Edgewater Junction illustrates the legacy of the local iron and coal economy. Small community landmarks, including Bivens Chapel, Union Grove Ch, and St Johns Ch, are scattered among family-named terrain features like Glasgow Hill. The impounded waters of Bayview Lake on Village Creek provide a distinctive geographic focal point, contrasting with the dense street grids of Ensley and Pratt City in the southeast corner. Cultural artifacts of the era, such as a Drive-in Theater near Westwood, appear alongside established institutions like the George Washington Memorial Gardens Cemetery.
