2011 Map of Sylvan Springs

About this map

Port Birmingham and the surrounding river-fed landscape of Jefferson County define this 2011 survey, showing a region where industrial infrastructure meets rural communities. The Locust Fork snakes through the center of the quadrangle, punctuated by landmarks like Atwood Ferry Bridge and Nichols Shoals. This area reflects the energy and transport economy of Alabama, anchored by the Miller Steam Plant Ash Pond Dam near Williamsburg. Smaller settlements like Powhatan, Short Creek, and Labuco are linked by a network of local roads such as Old Port Rd and Taylors Ferry Rd, while family histories are preserved at Atwood Cemetery and Salter Cemetery. In the southeastern corner, the residential growth of Sylvan Springs and Booker Heights contrasts with the industrial corridors, providing a detailed look at the modern footprint of these established communities.
