1980 Map of West Blocton East

About this map

The Cahaba River and Little Cahaba River carve through a landscape defined by industrial coal extraction and small-scale settlement near West Blocton. Extensive Strip Mine operations and a Tailings Pond dominate the northwestern sector, showing the heavy hand of resource extraction on the terrain. In contrast, the surrounding hills are dotted with local landmarks of genealogical significance, including Shiny Rock Cem, Cottingham Cem, and Thompson Cem. The geography is further anchored by community centers like Schultz Creek Ch and Wesley Chapel. The presence of numerous Gravel Pit sites alongside the major rivers suggests a diverse mineral economy that supported local infrastructure during the late 1970s. These waterways, fed by creeks such as Schultz Creek and Sixmile Creek, remain the primary topographic features around which the smaller communities of Coleanor and Piper were established.
