1951 Map of Warrior

About this map

Warrior and the industrial corridors of the Blount and Jefferson County line are documented in this mid-century survey, with revisions from the early 1970s. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Locust Fork, where features like Sharit Shoals and the McAnally Ford State Bridge mark historic crossing points. The regional economy of the era is evident in the presence of the Coal Chute near Cane Creek and the Louisville and Nashville railroad tracks that connect the mining and residential settlements of Beltona, Seloca, and Kimberly. Local heritage is anchored by numerous rural institutions, including the Mortimer Jordan Sch, Watts Union Ch, and the intriguing Chimneys Ruins located near Hogeland. This map provides a detailed look at the transition from traditional river-and-rail infrastructure to modern highway development.
