About this map

Industrial activity and coal mining define this 1920s landscape along the Black Warrior River on the border of Jefferson and Tuscaloosa counties. This survey, conducted by Albert Pike and his team just before the Great Depression, captures the peak of local mining operations at Kellerman and Searles. The presence of the Encora Mine and No 3 Mine indicates a region heavily tied to extractive industries, supported by the Mobile and Ohio RR and the North Alabama Junction.
