About this map

Monte Sano Mtn and Huntsville Mtn define the eastern rise of this Madison County landscape, where the residential growth of Huntsville presses against the steep terrain of the Cumberland Plateau. Numerous named hollows and coves like McKay Hollow and Esslinger Cove illustrate the complex drainage patterns of the limestone geology, while the presence of The Sinks indicates the subterranean water systems characteristic of the region.

The map records a dense network of suburban developments such as Jones Valley Estates, Whitesburg Estates, and Weatherly Heights, extending toward the Redstone Arsenal Boundary in the southwest. For those researching local history, several small cemeteries are preserved amidst the modern grid, including Merrimack Cem and Sivley Cem. Notable landmarks such as the Old Railroad Bed Trail and Byrd Spring Lake provide a connection to the area's older infrastructure and natural features, set against the contemporary urban sprawl of settlements like Darwin Downs and English Village.
