2011 Map of Cordova

About this map

The Mulberry Fork serpentines through the southern and eastern reaches of this Walker County landscape, defining the topography around Benoit and Sardis. This 2011 survey captures the industrial and community layout of Cordova, where the town sits between Reservoir Hill and the river's Benoit Bend. To the north, the terrain is dotted with small rural settlements and cemeteries that reflect the area's deep-rooted genealogy, including Union Chapel, Boldo, and Red Rock. The legacy of local extraction is evidenced by the Union Chapel Mine, while recreational and transport hubs like the Jasper Speedway and Walker County Lake highlight the modern development of the Jasper periphery. From the cotton-era namesake of Gardiners Gin to the family plots at Porter Cemetery, the map provides a look at the transition between established coal-country communities and the natural bends of the river valley.
