About this map

Capshaw Mountain and Burwell Mountain rise above a landscape transitioning from agricultural roots to suburban expansion northwest of Huntsville. The mid-century character of the area is defined by a dense network of country roads like Bob Wade Lane and Nick Davis Road, connecting established communities such as Monrovia and Cluttsville. Educational landmarks including Sparkman High Sch and Oakwood College anchor the local community alongside numerous small rural churches and family burying grounds.

Evidence of the region's transport history remains visible in the Old Railroad Bed Road, while the L & N RR serves the growing industrial and residential needs of Madison. Notable landmarks such as the dragstrip near Quarter Mountain and the pistol range near Liberty Hill reflect the recreational life of North Alabama during this period. The survey also captures the physical footprint of local utilities and infrastructure, from the substation at Rideout Village to the oxidation pond near Indian Creek.
