About this map

Ruffner Mtn and the ridges of Red Mtn dominate this 2018 portrait of eastern Birmingham and Jefferson County. The landscape is defined by the dense residential expansion through Roebuck and Huffman, where suburban neighborhoods like Lynn Acres and Barnisdale Forest fill the valleys between sandstone ridges. The transition from industrial corridors to protected green space is evident near the Norfolk Southern RR tracks, where traditional settlements like Irondale and Tarrant meet the foothills of Blackjack Ridge.

Genealogists and local researchers will find significant value in the documentation of numerous burial grounds, including McCombs Cem and Earlitown Cem, alongside prominent landmarks like the Birmingham-Shuttleworth International Airport. Water features such as Village Cr and the upper reaches of the Cahaba River illustrate the drainage patterns of the Jones Valley, while East Lake remains a central geographic anchor for the Wahouma and South Highlands communities.
