1959 Map of Cahaba Heights

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Cahaba Valley provides a sharp contrast between the burgeoning residential developments of Cahaba Heights and the rugged, industrial corridors of the Cahaba River. By the late 1950s, the landscape reflected a complex history of resource extraction, with numerous Strip Mine operations scattered across Pine Ridge and near the banks of the Little Cahaba River. These mining activities sit alongside established community landmarks like the Cahaba Heights School and several local congregations, including Wooten Chapel and Liberty Church.
