2014 Map of Concord

About this map

Valley Creek and its many tributaries, including Lick Cr and Johnson Br, define the topography of this Jefferson County landscape. In this early 21st-century survey, the industrial legacy of the region is evident in features such as the Blue Creek Mine Number 3 Impoundment near Adger and the Concord Mine Lake situated just south of the community of Concord. Residential development is concentrated around established municipalities like Hueytown, Pleasant Grove, and Sylvan Springs, while more localized settlements like Virginia and McAdory remain connected by a dense network of secondary roads. Genealogists will find several notable burial grounds, including the Virginia Mines Cem and the Martin Luther King Jr Memorial Cem. The map illustrates a transitional landscape where suburban growth meets the persistent marks of Alabama's coal and mining history, framed by ridges like West Rock Mtn and Rock Mtn.
