1959 Map of Cahaba Heights

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

The ridge-and-valley topography south of Birmingham is defined here by the winding Cahaba River and the substantial waters of Lake Purdy. In the late 1950s, the residential expansion of Cahaba Heights appears alongside established rural landmarks like Wooten Chapel Cem and Wise Cem. The landscape transitions from suburban development near the Jefferson and Shelby County line into the heavy timber and high ridges of Oak Mountain State Park to the south.
