About this map

Red Mountain and Shades Mountain define the topography of this industrial and residential landscape during a period of significant mid-century expansion. The transition from heavy industry to suburban development is visible as neighborhoods like Hollywood and English Village sit adjacent to established mining areas such as Ishkooda and Spaulding. The prominent Vulcan Statue overlooks the valley, marking the city's iron heritage, while the campus of Howard College anchors the growing community of Homewood.
