1905 Map of Bessemer Special
USGS Topo · Published 1905About this map
Bessemer and its industrial neighbors anchor this 1905 landscape, where a complex network of iron-and-coal rail lines defines the region's early growth. The map illustrates a dense concentration of early mining and company towns like Woodward, Lipscomb, and Wheeling, clustered around the ridge lines of Red Mountain. The presence of the Birmingham Mineral RR and Louisville & Nashville RR highlights the heavy industrial infrastructure required to support the local mines and furnaces, such as those at Hillman and Ishkooda.
