1959 Map of Birmingham South

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Red Mountain stands as the central divide in this late-1950s look at the southern expansion of Birmingham. The landscape is transitioning from industrial origins to mid-century residential growth, evidenced by the dense network of neighborhoods like English Village and Hollywood bordering the massive Elmwood Cemetery. To the south, the collegiate grounds of Howard College and the emerging suburbs of Homewood and Mountain Brook occupy the ridges and valleys of Shades Mountain.
