About this map

Huntsville's southward expansion meets the bend of the Tennessee River in this detailed survey, where suburban development transitions into the dramatic topography of the Tennessee Valley. The river serves as a prominent boundary between Madison and Morgan counties, punctuated by Ditto Landing and the sprawling Wheeler Lake waterway. To the south, the settlement of Laceys Spring sits at the foot of Whitesburg Mountain, marking a landscape defined by significant elevation changes and numerous family-named landmarks like McCutcheon Mountain and Bettinger Mountain.

Genealogists and local historians will find a high density of rural cemeteries, including Laceys Spring Cemetery, Lipscomb Cemetery, and Richards Cemetery. The map also captures specialized terrain features such as Hambrick Slough, Alum Cave Hollow, and Shaver Gap, alongside the distinctive Hobbs Island situated in the river channel. The mix of residential plats in Woodridge and Redstone Park against the backdrop of Bell Hill and Mathis Mountain illustrates the modern footprint over traditional Alabama hill country.
