1951 Map of Warrior

About this map

The Louisville and Nashville Railroad serves as a central spine through this coal-mining landscape, connecting the industrial centers of Warrior and Kimberly during the mid-20th century. The terrain is deeply carved by the Locust Fork and its tributaries like Gurley Creek and Cane Creek, revealing a pattern of settlement closely tied to both topography and resource extraction. Evidence of the region's primary industry is visible at features like the Coal Chute and various mines scattered along the ridge lines.
