1935 housing map of Birmingham. The base map was drawn in May 1933 by A. J. Hawkins of the Birmingham Engineering Department
The hand-colored areas are described in the legend as follows:
- Green - "Best"
- Blue - "Still Desirable"
- Yellow - "Definitely Declining"
- Red - "Hazardous"
- Gray - "Negro Concentration"
- Gray crosshatched - "Commercial & Industrial"
- Gray single-hatched - "Undeveloped"
In fact, the colorist seems not to have distinguished areas with "Negro Concentration" with those which were "Commercial & Industrial", coloring both in solid gray.
The circles show the distance from the city center to the furthest outposts of the city limits.
