Johnnie Robinson – Maps, Site Diagrams, and Roadway Photographs of the Shooting Location

Description

Seventeen-page compilation of maps, diagrams, aerial imagery, parcel maps, and roadway photographs relating to the location of Johnnie Robinson’s fatal shooting near 8th Avenue North and 26th Street North in Birmingham. The materials include hand-drawn scene diagrams depicting the alley, service station, surrounding buildings, police-car position, and Robinson’s reported location or direction of movement; historical Birmingham maps and land-use maps; detailed property and parcel maps; and modern aerial and street-level imagery of the area.

The compilation also includes contemporary Google Maps imagery identifying 808 26th Street North and later aerial views documenting substantial changes to the surrounding street network and built environment. The final image depicts 26th Street North during roadway construction and is annotated as dating from the 1980s. Collectively, these materials provide geographic and spatial context for reconstructing the scene and evaluating changes to the location over time.
