The railroad and mining landscape of Central Alabama is meticulously detailed in this early 20th-century survey. Montevallo serves as the central hub, where the Southern RR and Birmingham RR converge, facilitating the movement of coal and iron from industrial outposts like Aldrich and Gurnee. To the south, the industrial history of the region is evident at the Bibb Furnace (RUINS) near Brierfield, while timber operations are revealed by the Lumber Tramroad systems threading through Locust Ridge.
