1935 Map of Alicia

About this map

The Black River meanders through the heart of this mid-1930s landscape, its complex oxbows and bends defining the borders between Lawrence, Jackson, and Independence counties. The river-driven economy of earlier decades is still visible through landmarks like the Old Martin Mill Place and several landings such as Eureka Ldg and Paradise Ldg. Along the western banks, Whitelow Ferry provides a crossing near Red Fox Bend, illustrating the importance of river transit before the total dominance of the highway system.
