1951 Map of Warrior

About this map

The Locust Fork of the Black Warrior River carves a winding path through this northern Jefferson County landscape, dictating the development of mining and rail infrastructure. Central to the map, the industrial hub of Warrior is connected to satellite settlements like Kimberly and Morris via the Louisville and Nashville railroad. The presence of a Coal Chute near Cane Creek and the proximity of Coaldale and Beltona point to the area's history as a coal-producing region during the mid-twentieth century. Local education and religious life are well-documented through landmarks such as the Mortimer Jordan Sch, Mt High Sch, and Watts Union Ch. Along the meandering riverbanks, a Gaging Sta monitors the flow, while numerous creeks like Merrill Creek and Self Creek drain the surrounding hills of Thomas Mtn.
