About this map

Industrial activity and river transport define the landscape along the Coosa River in this early twentieth-century survey of Shelby, Talladega, and Coosa Counties. The area is characterized by a sophisticated rail network, with the Southern, Central of Georgia, and Louisville and Nashville railroads converging near the burgeoning town of Sylacauga. The economy of the era is anchored by extensive extraction and milling, specifically at Gantts Quarry and the Eureka Quarry, while smaller operations like Looneys Mill and Odens Mill point to local industry.
