Description
This map shows us the four distinct geographies of Alabama: Stock and grain district, mineral region, mixed agricultural and manufacturing region, and cotton region—a really diverse economy. Notice also how the railway slices through all four with the obvious goal of shipping Alabama's products to market via the Gulf of Mexico. The South was recovering from the tragic Civil War and an ever-expanding rail system was large part of this effort.
