1959 Map of Birmingham South
USGS Topo · Published 1960About this map
Elmwood Cemetery and the sprawling residential developments of Homewood and Mountain Brook dominate the northern landscape in this late 1950s survey. The map documents a period of significant suburban expansion, where established communities like English Village and Hollywood meet newer tracts such as Lake Shore Estates and Vestavia Hills. This growth is constrained by the prominent ridge of Shades Mountain, which separates the urbanized Birmingham area from the more open Little Shades Valley to the south.
