1959 Map of Helena
USGS Topo · Published 1991About this map
The Cahaba River winds through a landscape defined by sharp ridge-and-valley topography, dividing the industrial and residential growth of Hoover and Pelham in Shelby and Jefferson counties. This 1959 survey, updated with 1980s photo revisions, captures the era when the Seaboard railroad still dictated the orientation of settlements like Helena, Falliston, and Roebuck. The map reveals a dense network of local landmarks, from the Mars Hill Ch and Cumberland Cem to the sprawling recreation area of Oak Mountain State Park in the southeast.
