About this map

The Tennessee River and Wheeler Lake anchor this 2011 survey of the southern Huntsville area, where the river's path is marked by substantial industrial and recreational landmarks. Significant infrastructure like the Alabama State Docks Terminal and Ditto Landing Marina sits near the historical Chickasaw Old Fields, while the Huntsville Speedway and South Huntsville Airport indicate the modern development of the region. The landscape is defined by the sharp contrast between the river basin and the surrounding peaks, including Mathis Mountain, McCutcheon Mountain, and Whitesburg Mountain.

Genealogists and local historians will find numerous family burial grounds throughout the terrain, such as Richards Cemetery, Lipscomb Cemetery, and Dunlap Cemetery. The map also captures the distinct residential growth patterns in communities like Regent Forest and Woodridge north of the river, while tracing the older rural character of Laceys Spring to the south. Transportation history is noted through rail features like Rocket Siding and Linde Siding which parallel the river's northern bank.
