The sprawling footprint of Birmingham dominates this 2011 survey, showing the city's complex industrial and residential landscape north of Red Mountain. The map details the transition from the dense urban grid near the University of Alabama Birmingham and the Birmingham Post Office to the diverse industrial and transportation hubs surrounding East Thomas Yards and Village Creek. Notable for local history and genealogy, the sheet labels numerous historic burial grounds including Oak Hill Cemetery, Knesses Israel Cemetery, and Greenwood Cemetery. Beyond the city center, the landscape includes the working-class settlements and established neighborhoods of Fultondale, Tarrant, and Sayreton. Legacy landmarks like the Arlington Historic House and Gardens stand alongside major regional infrastructure such as the Birmingham Municipal Airport and the corridor of Fivemile Creek.
