About this map

The Tennessee River and the expansive waters of Wheeler Lake dominate this landscape, where the borders of Limestone, Lawrence, and Morgan counties meet. On the southern shore, the industrial and residential outskirts of Decatur and the town of Trinity represent the area’s modern growth, while the surrounding countryside preserves an extensive network of family and community burial grounds. These sites, including Grayson Cem, Minor Cem, and Peck Cem, offer significant points of interest for those tracing the lineage of North Alabama’s rural settlements.

North of the river, the terrain transitions into a patchwork of small communities like Jones Crossroads and Lawngate. The map documents the persistent rural character of this region through landmarks such as Nebo Church and its associated Nebo Cem. Geographic features along the water, such as Finley Island, Byrd Island Bar, and Beulah Bay, illustrate the complex shoreline and navigation hazards of the river valley, while numerous creeks like Round Island Br and Broyles Br drain the northern uplands.
