1974 Map of Burchfield Store

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Burchfield Store and the surrounding ridge country of Tuscaloosa and Jefferson counties are defined by the winding course of the Black Warrior River and the engineered waters of Holt Lake. This 1974 survey captures the landscape during a period of transition, where industrial and recreational uses converge along the riverbank. The presence of the John Hollis Bankhead Lock and Dam and the Powerplant downstream reflects the river's role in power generation and navigation, while the Old Lock 16 Public Use Area indicates the conversion of older river infrastructure for public recreation. Inland, the terrain is marked by numerous ridges such as Pumpkin Ridge and Brown Ridge, punctuated by rural landmarks like Providence Ch and the Providence Lookout Tower. Several areas marked as Strip Mine show the active extraction industry that shaped the local economy and topography during the mid-1970s.
