1934 Map of Blocton

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

West Blocton and the surrounding mining district dominate this 1930s landscape, where industrial settlements like Belle Ellen, Coleanor, and Piper follow the coal-rich seams of central Alabama. The survey reveals a dense network of early 20th-century infrastructure, including the Southern and Louisville and Nashville railroads that once connected these isolated company towns to the larger iron and steel markets.
