About this map

Tarrant City and Fultondale anchor the northern industrial corridor of this mid-century Alabama survey, illustrating the intensive urban and industrial growth surrounding the Iron City. The landscape is defined by a dense web of heavy rail including the Southern, Louisville and Nashville, and Illinois Central Gulf lines, which serviced the numerous strip mines, brickkilns, and quarries scattered throughout the terrain. In the heart of the city, civic life is represented by prominent landmarks like St Pauls Cathedral, the Courthouse Library, and Birmingham-Southern College.
