About this map

The Guntersville Dam anchors this landscape where the Tennessee River transitions into Wheeler Lake and Guntersville Lake. Located in Marshall County, the terrain is defined by dramatic river bluffs and deep hollows, such as Painted Bluff, Blue Rock Bluff, and Hambrick Hollow. The settlement of Union Grove serves as a central hub for the surrounding agricultural and residential area, supported by local landmarks like Neighbors Mill and Ferguson Farms.

Genealogists will find a significant distribution of family-linked sites and burial grounds throughout the quadrangle, including the Cloud Cemetery near Cloud Mountain, Beech Spring Cemetery, and Patterson Cemetery. The Paint Rock River winds through the northern portion of the map, joining the Tennessee near several named peaks like Mayo Mountain and Merrill Mountain. This survey provides a clear view of the intersection between hydroelectric infrastructure and the established rural communities of the early 21st century.
