USGS Topo · Published 1951About this map
The Sipsey Fork Mulberry River snakes through the heart of the Warrior Coal Basin, its deep meanders like Magbee Bend and Burton Bend carving a path between the plateau's ridges. The landscape is defined by the industrial extraction of the mid-century, with numerous Strip Mine operations and a massive Mine Dump near Sumiton. These workings are supported by a heavy rail network, primarily the St Louis San Francisco railroad, which links the mining communities of Empire, Sipsey, and Dora Junction.
