2011 Map of Gardendale

About this map

Gardendale serves as a central hub in this survey, showcasing the suburban expansion of Jefferson County north of Birmingham. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of Black Creek and Cunningham Creek, which weave between ridges like Yellow Bird Mountain and Easterwood Mountain. This map documents a transitional period where established communities like Morris and Mount Olive interface with modern infrastructure, including the dense network of roads such as Old Highway 31 and Carson Rd N. Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, including Moncrief Cemetery, Edward Cemetery, and Crooked Creek Cemetery. The eastern portion of the quadrangle highlights the industrial and civic heritage of New Castle, featuring the New Castle Community House and nearby water resources like the Flat Creek Lake Dam.
