About this map

Cordova and the winding course of the Mulberry Fork define this portion of Walker County, Alabama, during the early 21st century. The landscape is a complex network of rural settlements and family-named landmarks, ranging from Gardiners Gin and Chapel Hill in the center to Gobblers Crossing in the south. This era shows the developed infrastructure around Walker County Lake and the significant presence of local cemeteries including Boldo Cem, Sardis Cem, and Porter Cem, which provide essential points of reference for genealogical research in the region.

Industrial and transport corridors are evident in the Cordova Parish Rd and the proximity to the southern edge of Jasper. Terrain features like Reservoir Hill and Riceston Hill rise above the many tributaries feeding the river system, including Cane Creek and Blackwater Creek. The map also identifies specific river bends and shoals such as Barton Bend and Sanders Shoals, reflecting the enduring importance of the river's geography to local identity and navigation.
