About this map

The Tennessee River snakes through the heart of Marshall County, Alabama, defining a landscape where the urban centers of Guntersville and Albertville meet the steep topography of Sand Mountain and Negro Mtn. Near the northern bend of the river, the Guntersville Ferry and Gunters Reef provide evidence of long-standing river navigation, while the Marshall County Courthouse serves as the civic anchor for the region. The map reveals a high density of rural burial sites and small communities, including Mill Village, Rabbit Town, and Lattiwood.

Transport corridors like the Florida Short Rte connect these settlements across the Tennessee Valley Divide. Notable for genealogists are the numerous family and church cemeteries such as Rehobeth Cem, King Cem, and Missionary Baptist Church Cem, which are scattered throughout the valleys and hollows like Tallman Hollow and Davidson Hollow. This modern survey documents the continued intersection of historical crossroads, such as Sidney and Pleasant Grove, with the expanding footprints of the county's primary population centers.
