About this map

Birmingham City Boundary expansion and post-war suburban growth define this survey of eastern Jefferson County. The industrial legacy of the region is visible through the Ruffner Mines and Gate City Quarry along the iron-rich spine of Red Mountain. The landscape is a dense network of residential developments and institutions, from the Alabama Industrial Sch for Boys to the Hillcrest Sanitarium.
