Black Warrior / Tombigbee Navigation Charts

Download for FREE georeferenced PDF files of current river charts beginning in Mobile, Alabama, continuing through Jackson, Demopolis, Tuscaloosa, and to the heads of navigation on the Locust and Mulberry Forks. The charts contain 2017 or better imagery, bridge clearance tables, elevated and submerged crossings, and over 2000 feature names and locations. All charts are current as of March 2020. As changes occur PDF's will be updated. All files will be replaced and/or updated around the 1st of each year. The chart files are designed to be printed on 11 x 17 paper.

 

The Black Warrior/Tombigbee River Project has 6 locks and dams. The water areas above each of these is called a "pool". Pool levels may fluctuate due to local rain events but the pool's surface elevation should never fall below the "mean pool elevation", or M.S.L. These mean pool elevations (MSL's) can be found at the bottom of the BWT Shoaling Areas chart and used to calculate current water elevations when applied to existing local gage poles. Further explanation on how to do this can be found on any of the Bridge Reference charts (Br. Ref.) below.
