1949 Map of Cordova

About this map

The industrial and agricultural rhythms of Walker County come into focus along the Mulberry Fork in the post-war years. Cordova serves as the primary hub, where the Southern railroad and Bankhead highway intersect near the prominent Reservoir Hill. The landscape to the north and east is defined by winding waterways like Blackwater Creek and Potey Creek, punctuated by small settlements and rural landmarks such as Gardiners Gin and the Drive-in Theater.
