About this map

Greenbrier and its surrounding countryside represent a significant intersection of traditional Alabama agriculture and modern infrastructure. The southern portion of the map is defined by the expansive Wheeler Lake and the dense network of waterways like Limestone Slough and Beaverdam Creek, which drain into the Tennessee River system. This transition from aquatic environments to upland settlements is marked by family-named landmarks and small community centers such as Oakland, Parker, and Manley Crossroads.

Genealogists will find an exceptional concentration of burial grounds throughout this quadrant, indicating the deep roots of local families. From the Anderson Cemetery in the west to the Holding Cemetery and Wiggins Cemetery near the newer developments, these sites offer a tangible link to the area's heritage. The presence of the Jetport Municipal Golf Course and the Huntsville-Madison Co Jetport-Carl T Jones reflects the late-20th-century suburban and industrial expansion radiating from Madison, contrasting with the older rural character of the Burgreen Gin vicinity.
