About this map

Huntsville serves as the focal point of this Walker County survey, showing the expansion of the city around the campus of Sam Houston State University. The landscape is a mix of dense residential blocks and significant civic sites, including the Sam Houston Grave and the sprawling grounds of Oakwood Cemetery. The city’s institutional history is further evidenced by the Prison Cemetery and South Side Cemetery, while outlying areas like Smith Hill and Pine Hill maintain a more rural character.

South of the urban center, the terrain transitions into the protected woodlands of the Sam Houston National Forest. This southern portion is defined by a series of significant water bodies including Lake Raven, Elkins Lake, and Azalea Lake. Smaller family and rural burial grounds such as Allen Cemetery and Holloway Cemetery are scattered across the forest-fringed periphery, providing valuable markers for local genealogical research.
