About this map

Industrial expansion and coal mining define the landscape of Jefferson County during the first decade of the twentieth century. This survey documents the complex network of short-line and major railroads, including the Ensley Southern RR and the Kansas City Memphis and Birmingham RR, that serviced the region's active pits. Major extraction sites like Banner Mines, Kosmo Mines, and Gulf Mines appear alongside the residential hubs that supported them, such as Brookside and Adamsville.
