1892 Map of Huntsville

About this map

Huntsville and the Tennessee River valley serve as the centerpiece of this late 19th-century survey, revealing a landscape defined by its river crossings and early industrial mills. The topography is dominated by the dramatic rise of Monte Sano to the east, where the Monte Sano Hotel and Logan Pt overlook the city. Down on the river plain, transportation relies on a network of river crossings including Whitesburg Ferry, Leman Ferry, and Draper Ferry, connecting the farming communities of Madison and Morgan counties before the era of modern bridges.
