1980 Map of Knoxville

About this map

The Black Warrior River and the expansive Warrior Lake dominate the southern landscape of this 1980 survey, where the river serves as the boundary between Greene and Hale counties. This rural corridor is defined by its numerous small congregational centers and family-named water features. Notable spiritual and community landmarks such as New Bethany Ch, St Marys Ch, and Cedar Grove Ch are scattered across the terrain, often accompanied by local burial grounds like New Bethany Cem. The map illustrates the hydrological complexity of the area through features like Bohannons Cutoff, Stovers Lake, and Martin Slough. On the northern edge, the settlement of Knoxville sits at a highway junction, while further south, Oak Village provides access to the river's recreational facilities, including the Lock 8 Public Use Area and a Campground.
