About this map

The Tennessee River and the sprawling waters of Wheeler Lake dominate this 2014 survey of the Morgan and Limestone county border. The city of Decatur is shown in detail, including established neighborhoods like Albany, Oakworth, and West Decatur. To the north, the Keller Memorial Bridge provides a vital link across the river toward the historic settlement of Mooresville. This era reveals a landscape shaped by both urban density and the riparian environment of the Flint Creek Island area.

Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites, from the large Decatur Cem and Oakview Memorial Gardens to smaller family landmarks like Thach Cem and Grizzard Cem. The topography transitions from the river flats to prominent elevations such as Burningtree Mountain and Burleson Mtn in the southeast. Suburban growth is evident in communities like Priceville and Bayside, while the Darcy Bottoms Nature Trail indicates the preservation of the wetlands along Dinsmore Slough and Muddy Br.
