Bessemer 1889 Map
This map is from the Bessemer Hall of History. It is interesting in that it shows the "Marvel City", Bessemer, seeming to out-do the "Magic City", Birmingham. Such is the way of entrepreneurs. You may click on each section of the map to view a more detailed image. The sections are organized by Township and Range. From a given section you may return or navigate to adjacent sections.

This map shows a variety of mines and furnace sites, as well as railroad names in the early days of the District and should prove to be a useful reference. Enjoy!
