About this map

Guntersville occupies a strategic peninsula on the southern banks of Guntersville Lake, where the waters of the Tennessee River are constrained by the Houston Bridge. The map details the residential and industrial expansion surrounding the town, showing the distinct neighborhoods of Southtown, Mill Village, and Wyeth City. Beyond the urban center, the terrain is defined by dramatic ridges and valleys, including Georgia Mtn and Dividing Ridge, which overlook the expansive Big Spring Valley.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local history through the numerous family and community burial grounds documented here, such as Guntersville City Cem, Pleasant Grove Cem, and Rehobeth Cem. The southern portion of the sheet reveals the hydrologic importance of the Tennessee Valley Divide, where drainage shifts toward smaller tributaries like Hog Cr and Collins Cr. The infrastructure of the era is well-represented, from the Rayburn and Sunrise Shores developments to the rural crossroads of Sidney and Rabbit Town.
