1959 Map of Argo

About this map

The Cahaba River winds through the heart of this landscape, carving through Red Mountain and defining the development of communities like Trussville and Argo. The 1970 revisions, indicated in purple, reveal the significant suburban expansion of Trussville and Cahaba Crest as the Birmingham metro area pushed eastward. This growth is juxtaposed against the established industrial footprint of the region, visible in the numerous Strip Mines, Chert Pits, and a large Quarry situated between Chalkville and the river banks.
