1938 Map of Port Birmingham

About this map

Port Birmingham and the surrounding riverine landscape of the Black Warrior River valley define this mid-1930s survey. The map documents the convergence of the Mulberry Fork and Locust Fork, where the river network supported a burgeoning industrial and transit corridor for Walker Co and Jefferson Co. The terrain is marked by numerous family-named camps and landings, such as Pennsylvania Camp and Davis Camp, alongside vital river crossings like Reed Ferry and Underwood Ferry.
