1974 Map of Brookwood

About this map

Industrial activity and small coal settlements define this Tuscaloosa County landscape during the mid-1970s. Numerous areas marked as Strip Mine dominate the topography, illustrating the heavy extraction that shaped the terrain around Brookwood and East Brookwood. The infrastructure of the era is clearly visible, with the Seaboard rail line and an old railroad grade cutting through the hills to serve these mining operations. Local life is anchored by traditional landmarks such as Antioch Ch and Friendship Ch, along with smaller communities like Kellerman and Searles.
