1975 Map of Birmingham South

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Birmingham dominates the northern portion of this orthophotograph, where the city’s dense urban grid begins to give way to the complex topography of the south. This 1975 aerial perspective reveals the residential expansion and suburban density occurring across Homewood and Mountain Brook, showing how development was shaped by the ridgelines and valleys characteristic of the area. Unlike traditional line maps, this orthophoto provides a literal view of the mid-1970s landscape, documenting the precise footprints of housing developments, commercial corridors, and the winding road networks that define these communities during a period of significant growth in Jefferson County.
