1948 Map of Mason Bend

About this map

The Black Warrior River meanders sharply across the Greene and Hale county line, carving out dramatic loops such as Mason Bend, Erie Bend, and Clements Bend. This 1940s landscape is defined by its riparian infrastructure and scattered agricultural settlements, featuring numerous schools and labor quarters that point to a rural, community-focused economy. In the south, the St Louis and San Francisco railroad cuts through the terrain near Ebenezer Sch. Significant local sites like Walden Quarters, Jackson Quarters, and Gilmore Quarters are documented alongside specialized locations like Dollarhide Camp and Will-o'-the-wisp Camp. The river remains the central artery for movement and industry, evidenced by the presence of Lock No 6 and East Port Landing, which facilitated river traffic before modern navigation changes.
