1979 Map of West Blocton West
USGS Topo · Published 1980About this map
Industrial and rural landscapes converge in this survey of central Alabama, where the outskirts of West Blocton meet a terrain defined by coal and timber. The map documents an extensive network of extractive industries, most notably the prominent Strip Mine and smaller operations near Red Eagle and Lucille. Transportation history is clearly etched into the land by an Old RR Gr, marking the paths once used to move raw materials through the valleys of Schultz Creek and McCulley Creek.
