2018 Map of Warrior Dam

About this map

The Black Warrior River carves a complex course through the western Alabama landscape on the border of Greene and Hale Counties. This riverine environment is defined by its numerous named bars, bluffs, and shoals, such as Lumbus Bar, Browns Bluff, and Big Creek Shoals. The dominant infrastructure is the Warrior Dam, which regulates the flow of the river into Warrior Lake. The city of Eutaw sits on the western edge of the quadrangle, serving as a primary settlement node alongside smaller communities like Gosa and McClure. The interior landscape reveals a history of river crossings and local navigation, evidenced by features like the Oscar Underwood Bridge and the point at Jennings Ferry Point. Numerous cemeteries including New Christian Cem and Jackson Chapel Cem are distributed throughout the rural landscape, providing essential data points for local genealogy and history.
