About this map

The growing suburban and residential character of northern Jefferson County is evident in this 2014 survey. Centered on Gardendale, the map shows a landscape defined by significant infrastructure and topography, where the developed corridors of Mount Olive and Morris meet the ridges of Bagley Ridge and Shell Ridge. The area's geography is intricately carved by numerous waterways, including the winding course of Cunningham Cr and Black Cr, alongside local landmarks like Yellow Bird Mtn and Easterwood Mtn.

For local historians and genealogists, the map provides precise locations for several community burial grounds, such as Moncrief Cem, Edward Cem, and Mt Olive Cem. The intersection of modern transportation and natural features is highlighted by the presence of Flat Cr Lake and the Pawnee Reservoir, while older place names like New Castle and Fieldstown represent the established communities that predate the more recent residential expansion in this part of Alabama.
