1959 Map of Cahaba Heights
USGS Topo · Published 1971About this map
The Cahaba River and its tributary, the Little Cahaba River, anchor this landscape as it transitions from the industrial mining outskirts of Birmingham into the ridge-and-valley terrain of Shelby County. While Cahaba Heights and Overton show early suburban growth, the surrounding ridges remain defined by heavy resource extraction, evidenced by several unnamed Strip Mine operations scattered between Shades Ridge and Pine Ridge. The impoundment of Lake Purdy dominates the eastern quadrant, creating a complex shoreline that surrounds Goat Island and Little Island.
