2018 Map of Pinson

About this map

Pinson serves as a central hub on this 2018 survey of northeastern Jefferson County, where suburban expansion meets the ridgelines of Red Mtn and Keeler Mtn. The landscape is defined by its numerous named valleys and gaps, such as Jones Valley, Sweeny Gap, and the topographic bottleneck at The Narrows. This era shows a dense network of residential communities and educational infrastructure, including Jefferson State Community College and neighborhoods like Larkwood and Center Point Gardens. Waterways such as Turkey Cr and Fivemile Cr weave through the terrain, while small reservoirs like Silver Lake and Old Shadow Lake dot the valleys. For local historians, the map preserves the locations of established landmarks like Sharon Ch and Pinson Cem, alongside industrial and transportation footprints like the Turkey Creek Airport. The transition from the established northern neighborhoods of Birmingham into the distinct suburbs of Grayson Valley and Clay is clearly documented.
