1959 Map of Leeds
USGS Topo · Published 1978About this map
Leeds and Trussville anchor this 1950s landscape, which transitioned from industrial resource extraction to suburban expansion by the late 1970s. The topography is defined by the parallel ridges of Grassy Ridge and Blackjack Ridge, while the Cahaba River winds through the central valley. Evidence of the region's mineral-driven economy is everywhere, from the Strip Mine and numerous Chert Pits to the Hickman Mill and the Roper Tunnel.
