1951 Map of Warrior

About this map

Warrior serves as the focal point of this northern Jefferson County landscape, situated along the Louisville and Nashville railroad corridor. The area's mid-century industrial and social character is evident in the cluster of mining and rail-oriented settlements including Kimberly, Beltona, and Coaldale. Waterways like the winding Locust Fork and Lick Creek define the topography, creating natural barriers and landmarks such as Sharit Shoals. Local genealogy is well-represented through numerous community institutions, including New Bethel Ch, Azbeth Ch, and the Mortimer Jordan Sch. A notable historical detail is the presence of the Chimneys Ruins near Linton, pointing to earlier structures along the creek. This map captures the transition of these rural communities as they expanded outward from their original railroad and river foundations.
