1935 Map of Alicia

About this map

The Black River meanders through a landscape defined by dramatic horseshoe loops and river-bottom landings in the mid-1930s. This survey by the War Department and Corps of Engineers documents the winding corridor through Lawrence and Jackson Counties, where river crossings like Whitelow Ferry and Lockheart Ferry remained vital. The terrain is marked by numerous named bends, including Red Fox Bend and Stallings Bend, and historically significant sites such as the Old Martin Mill Place.
