About this map

The Madison County seat, Huntsville, serves as the primary hub of this 2017 survey, situated at the confluence of Holman Cr and Town Br. The map highlights a landscape defined by its high ridges and deep valleys, including the prominent peaks of Carlock Mtn and Diera Mtn. The watershed is dominated by the meandering course of War Eagle Creek, which flows past the City of Huntsville Lake and provides drainage for several family-named hollows and coves like Hanney Hollow and Rays Cove.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the documentation of several rural burial sites, including Aurora Cem, McBroom Cem, and Hawkins Cem. Small historic communities such as Harmony and Wharton remain distinct points of interest along the evolving road network of 412 and local county routes. The terrain transitions from the developed streets of the town center to the steep, wooded slopes of Big Sandy Mtn and Negro Mtn on the eastern edge.
