Edgewater Community, Off New Mulga Loop Road (Junction 80), Birmingham, Jefferson County, AL
Summary
Significance: White and black churches and many houses built by TCI for blacks and whites in geographically-distinct sections remain in the isolated mining village today. The black camp is located along a ridge paralleling the former mine site on the west; the white camp is south of this site. Edgewater is the largest of TCI's remaining coal mining camps with clearly defined black and white sections. The Edgewater Mine site has been totally cleared in the 1990s by USX and utility connections installed.
