About this map

The winding convergence of the Mulberry Fork and the Locust Fork into the Black Warrior River dominates this 1930s landscape along the border of Walker and Jefferson counties. As a critical hub for industry and transport, Port Birmingham sits near the terminal points of the Louisville & Nashville RR and the Southern Ry, illustrating the era's reliance on river-to-rail logistics. The terrain is dense with coal-era settlements and mining camps like Praco, Labuco, and Bessie, connected by a network of historic river crossings including Atwood Ferry and Taylor Ferry.
