1949 Map of Cordova

About this map

The industrial and topographic character of the Walker County coalfields is evident along the Mulberry Fork, where the town of Cordova serves as a central hub for river and rail activity. This mid-century landscape is defined by the convergence of the Burlington Northern and Southern railroads, which facilitated the movement of resources through the river bends. The map captures a detailed transition of the era, showing rural communities and family-named landmarks such as Gardiners Gin and Lynns Park alongside the rugged terrain of The Pinnacle.
