1979 Map of Aldrich

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The Little Cahaba River and its tributary Furnace Branch carve through this industrial and agricultural landscape where the borders of Bibb, Shelby, and Chilton counties meet. In the late 1970s, the area remained a hub of extraction and local commerce, evidenced by the numerous Chert Pits, a Claypit, and a Gravel Pit scattered across the terrain. The presence of the Bibb Furnace Ruins serves as a tangible link to the region's iron-working heritage along the Southern railroad line. Small communities like Aldrich, Brierfield, and Ashby are anchored by local institutions such as Carlton Hill Ch and the Brierfield Cem. Crossing points like McGuire Ford and Fitch Bridge highlight how the local population navigated the winding river system, while the northern edge of the map features recreational developments like the Golf Course and College Lake.
