About this map

Black Warrior River dominates this mid-1970s landscape, illustrating the critical role of water management and energy production in Tuscaloosa County. The massive Holt Lock and Dam structure and its associated powerplant anchor the southern reaches, creating the reservoir known as Holt Lake. This waterway was a hub for industrial and recreational utility, evidenced by several public access points like the Rock Quarry Landing and the Old Lock 15. Inland, the terrain is marked by numerous strip mines, showing the extensive extractive industry active in the area at this time.
