About this map

Birmingham's northeastern suburban expansion and industrial infrastructure are clearly defined in this detailed 2020 layout of Jefferson County. The landscape is dominated by the Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport and a dense network of residential neighborhoods like Roebuck Park, Huffman, and Zion City. The terrain is characterized by the prominent ridges of Red Mtn and Shades Mountain, which influence the corridor of the Norfolk Southern railroad and the interstate systems.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the documentation of numerous burial grounds, including Zion Memorial Gardens, East-Lake Cem, and McCombs Cem. The eastern portion of the map transitions into the drainage of the Cahaba River and Hogpen Br, while the north features the winding course of Fivemile Cr. This survey captures the modern character of communities such as Tarrant and Irondale as they interface with the natural topography of Little Sand Mtn and Pilot Knob.
