1980 Map of Centreville West

About this map

The Cahaba River winds through the eastern portion of this Bibb County survey, anchoring the sister towns of Centreville and Brent. By the early 1980s, these communities show evidence of expansion with new developments like Fairdale and municipal infrastructure such as a Sewage Disposal Pond. The landscape is a mix of industrial and spiritual life, where numerous small congregations like Haysop Ch and Saints Assembly Ch are scattered among the ridges, while the Illinois Central Gulf railroad and several Gravel Pits highlight the local extractive economy. To the south, the boundary of the Talladega National Forest encompasses the river's floodplains near Cooper Island, while rural settlements like Harrisburg and Eoline maintain their footprint in the western timberlands.
