About this map

Florence and Sheffield sit divided by the Tennessee River, anchoring a region defined by industrial waterways and deep local history. In the heart of Florence, the University of North Alabama and the ancient Waumanona Mound overlook the river valley, while the O'Neal Bridge provides a primary transit link between the Lauderdale and Colbert county shores. The river itself is a complex network of channels and landmarks, including Patton Island, Sevenmile Island, and the expansive McFarland Bottoms.

Residential growth is evident in suburban clusters like Cloverdale Heights, Sherwood Forest, and Hickory Hills. To the east, the Wilson Creek Airport and Tri - Cities Memorial Gardens mark the landscape near Muscle Shoals. Smaller settlements and historic sites such as Petersville and Underwood are documented alongside numerous family and memorial grounds, including Greenview Memorial Cem and Smith Bottom Cem, which serve as vital points of reference for genealogical research.
