About this map

The Cahaba River and Little Cahaba River carve through a landscape defined by Alabama's industrial and rural heritage during the early 1940s. Centered on the coal-mining communities of West Blocton and Blocton, the map reveals a dense network of transit and labor, with the Southern, Louisville And Nashville, and Mobile And Ohio railroads connecting isolated settlements like Belle Ellen and Piper to the broader region.
