The Cahaba River winds through this section of Shelby and Bibb Counties, anchoring a landscape shaped by coal mining and timber operations. Industry is evident in the numerous Strip Mines and the Stravens Mine with its associated Tailings Ponds. The presence of Sawmill Town and several Strip Mine sites suggests a localized economy centered on resource extraction during the late 1970s.
