1926 Map of Tuscaloosa
USGS Topo · Published 1926About this map
The Black Warrior River defines the landscape of this 1920s survey, its winding course punctuated by engineering works like Lock No 10 and Lock No 12 near Tuscaloosa. The city is depicted in significant detail, showing the early layout of the University of Alabama campus and the sprawling grounds of the State Hospital. South of the urban center, the river meanders through dramatic loops such as Snows Bend and Hemphill Bend, where the terrain drops toward the Tuscaloosa and Hale County line. The rural interior is dotted with local institutions essential to early 20th-century life, including the Hull Consolidated School, Beautiful Zion Church, and the County Poor Farm. Industrial markers like Cribbs Mill and the Mobile and Ohio RR reflect a region deeply tied to its river-and-rail economy.
