1959 Map of Cahaba Heights
USGS Topo · Published 1960About this map
The Cahaba River and its tributary, the Little Cahaba River, dominate this 1959 landscape, where industrial activity and growing residential pockets met the ridge-and-valley terrain of Shelby and Jefferson Counties. Large-scale infrastructure is evident at Lake Purdy, featuring The Narrows, Goat Island, and a Water Pumping Sta. The map documents a period of active land use, from numerous Strip Mines cutting into Shades Mountain Ridge to the protected land of Oak Mountain State Park in the south.
