About this map

Huntsville serves as the central hub of this 2010 survey, defined by its institutional presence and a complex network of waterways and cemeteries. The landscape is notably marked by the Wynne State Prison Farm to the northwest and the Goree State Prison Farm to the southeast, illustrating the long-standing role of the correctional system in the local geography. Between these points, residential and educational expansion meets older landmarks like Peckerwood Hill and the Prison Cemetery.

Water management is prominent throughout the quadrangle, with numerous dams creating recreational and utility reservoirs such as Lake Raven, Elkins Lake, and Baldwin Lake. These bodies of water are fed by a dendritic drainage system including Robinson Creek and McGary Creek. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites documented, ranging from the historic Oakwood Cemetery in the town center to smaller family or rural sites like Harper Cemetery and Holloway Cemetery.
