About this map

Alabama River waters dominate this 1982 survey, defining the sweeping curve of Durant Bend and the surrounding riverine landscape. The river serves as a major industrial and transit artery, evidenced by the State Dock, a Boat Ramp, and several riverfront landings such as Steels Landing and Henderson Ldg. To the east, the impounded waters of Woodruff (Bob) Lake press against Jones Bluff, marking a transition from free-flowing river to reservoir.

Upland from the river, the small settlement of Statesville sits near the junction of Little Mulberry Creek and Mulberry Creek. The landscape is a mix of natural drainage and industrial utility, featuring an Industrial Waste Pond, an Oxidation Pond, and a Clay Pit. Rural life is anchored by local landmarks like Peace Ch and a small Landing Strip, providing a look at Autauga County's infrastructure in the early 1980s.
