About this map

Wheeler Lake and the Tennessee River carve a winding path through the heart of this landscape, separating the southern edge of Huntsville from the hills of Morgan and Marshall counties. The settlement of Whitesburg sits at a historic crossing point, while the modern boundaries of Redstone Park reflect the area's contemporary institutional significance. To the south, the community of Laceys Spring is defined by a cluster of family-centered landmarks, including the Laceys Spring Cem and Lipscomb Cem, nestled near the base of McCutcheon Mtn.

High elevations like Mathis Mtn and Wallace Mtn overlook a complex network of valleys and hollows, such as Jones Valley and Alum Cave Hollow. The map provides exceptional detail for genealogists, documenting numerous small burial grounds including Winton Cem, Burton Cem, and Farley Cem. The eastern portion of the sheet is dominated by the broad expanse of Hobbs Island and the confluence where the Flint River meets the Tennessee.
