1971 Map of Gilmore

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The Mulberry Fork Black Warrior River dominates this landscape, winding through the borderlands of Walker and Jefferson Counties. During this early 1970s period, the river’s shoreline is dotted with recreation and utility camps, such as Howton Camp, Vines Camp, and Bluff Creek Camp, highlighting the waterway's role as a social and recreational hub. Industrial activity is equally prominent, with extensive strip mines and a large Tailings Pond near Maxine showing the region's reliance on extraction. Transport infrastructure is anchored by the Louisville and Nashville railroad and vital river crossings like the Franklin Ferry Bridge. Local family and community roots are evident in landmarks such as the Prescott Cem, Alliance Sch, and small settlements like Gilmore, providing a detailed look at the rural-industrial character of the Alabama interior before further modernization altered these riverbank communities.
