2024 Map of Concord

About this map

Rock Creek and its many tributaries, such as Roscoe Spring Branch and Little Lick Creek, carve through the complex topography of western Jefferson County. This landscape is defined by its industrial legacy, visible in the substantial water bodies created by mining operations, including the Concord Mine Lake and the large Blue Cr Mine Number 3 Impoundment near the southern edge. The residential patterns of Concord, Hueytown, and Virginia are tightly integrated with this rugged terrain, often following ridges like West Rock Mtn. For genealogists, the map identifies several significant resting places, such as the Valley Creek Cem and the Martin Luther King Junior Memorial Cem, providing precise locations for family research. The network of local roads like Warrior River Rd and Taylors Ferry Rd serves as the primary skeleton for the dispersed settlements that characterize this portion of the Birmingham metropolitan fringe.
