A key to the geography represented by Craig Wedderspoon's metal sculpture of the Black Warrior River which is imbedded into the walkway leading up to the Minerva statue @ the University of Alabama's Manderson Landing Park on Tuscaloosa's Jack Warner Parkway.

The circle represents a point just northwest of Demopolis where the Black Warrior empties into the Tombigbee. The first upward loop of the sculpture that surrounds the "1819 note" is Webbs Bend of the Warrior north of Demopolis. Webbs Bend - Google Maps

The U.S. Highway 43 bridge and the King Railroad Bridge are in the loop above the word "December".

The bend above "13" is called Gadeous Bend and the lower bend to the right of "Incorporated" is called Klies Bend. 

The portion of the sculpture coming up from Klies Bend represents the part of the Warrior River that bounded the western portion of the property that the U.S. Congress granted to the Vine & Olive Company in 1817.
