2014 Map of Warrior

About this map

The Locust Fork of the Black Warrior River carves through the landscape of northern Jefferson County, defining the geography of industrial and residential communities in the early 21st century. This area, spanning the border with Blount County, is anchored by the historic rail-connected town of Warrior and the neighboring settlements of Kimberly and Morris. The map documents a blend of established infrastructure and natural landmarks, such as Sharit Shoals and the crossing at McKnally Ford Bridge. Local family and community history is preserved through numerous burial sites, including Elvester Cem, Enon Cem, and Cain Creek Cem. The terrain is characterized by significant elevations like Thomas Mtn and the winding paths of Sibleyville Cr and Cane Cr, illustrating the complex drainage patterns that have influenced the development of small communities like Coaldale and Trafford.
