About this map

Industrial expansion and coal extraction define this early 20th-century landscape northwest of Birmingham. The map reveals a dense network of mining operations and company towns, such as Banner Mines and Brookside, which grew alongside the Southern RR and other vital rail lines. These railways, including the Kansas City Memphis and Birmingham RR, served as the economic backbone for settlements like Pratt City and Wylam, transporting coal from operations like Kosmo Mines and Thompson Mine.
