1979 Map of Concord
USGS Topo · Published 1987About this map
Industrial extraction and rural community life intersect in this 1970s study of Jefferson County. The landscape is defined by the massive footprint of the Concord Mine, where a sprawling complex of tailings, conveyors, and industrial waste ponds sits adjacent to the growing residential blocks of Hueytown. Despite the heavy industry, traditional landmarks like Rock Creek Cem and Earnest Ch remain as anchors for local genealogy. To the south, the terrain becomes increasingly complex as the Louisville and Nashville Railroad snakes along the banks of Valley Creek, serving a series of strip mines and the Blue Creek No 3 Mine near Adger. This survey provides a precise record of the infrastructure supporting Alabama's coal economy, from the Coal Silo near Lick Creek to the network of air shafts and pipelines cutting through the ridges of West Rock Mountain.
