USGS Topo · Published 1973About this map
Industrial and residential development defines the landscape east of Tuscaloosa in the late 1960s, where the Gulf Mobile and Ohio and Louisville and Nashville railroads converge. The map shows the sprawling footprints of Universal Heights and Holt, while Peterson and Fleetwood remain more isolated by the meandering path of Hurricane Creek. The presence of several Strip Mines north of the river and rail lines underscores the region’s extractive economy during this era.
