1889 Map of Birmingham
USGS Topo · Published 1889About this map
The burgeoning industrial landscape of central Alabama comes into focus in this late 19th-century survey, revealing the early coal and iron infrastructure that would shape the region. Birmingham appears as a small urban grid surrounded by satellite towns like North Birmingham, East Birmingham, and Woodlawn. To the west, the intensive extraction activities are evident at the Pratt Mines and Morrow Mine, while the Old Irondale Furnace and Sloss Quarry to the east mark the precursors of the area's massive metallurgical production.
