About this map

Guntersville Dam anchors the landscape where the Tennessee River broadens into Wheeler Lake and Guntersville Lake. This riverine environment is defined by dramatic river bluffs such as Painted Bluff, Blue Rock Bluff, and Clark Bluff, which overlook the winding course of the Paint Rock River. The interior terrain is a complex of named hollows and ridges, including Vaughn Hollow and Russell Ridge.

Settlement patterns in this part of Marshall County center on Union Grove and Neighbors Mill, with numerous family-named landmarks and cemeteries scattered throughout the uplands. Genealogists can locate several burial sites including Walker Cem, Cooley Cemetery, and Hines Cem. The map provides a look at the local infrastructure, from the Guntersville Dam Rd to rural locations like Honeycomb and Hebron near the Little Paint Rock Cr.
