About this map

Birmingham urban growth climbs over the crest of Shades Mountain in this mid-century survey, showing the expansion into Homewood and Mountain Brook Village. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the industrial valley floor, marked by the Southern Railroad and Louisville and Nashville Railroad corridors near Ishkooda, to the suburban residential developments of Lakeview Estates and Hollywood.
