About this map

Madison and Huntsville anchor this 2014 survey, illustrating the significant urban expansion of the Tennessee Valley. The landscape is characterized by a mix of residential developments like Indian Hills and Skyline Acres alongside the specialized installations of the Redstone Army Airfield. The prominence of the Univ of Alabama in Huntsville near the eastern edge marks the region as a hub of education and aerospace research.

Genealogists and local historians will find an exceptional density of family burial grounds preserved amidst the suburban growth, including the Gooch-Dublin Cem, Powhatan Toney Cem, and Nickie-Martin Rathbone Cem. Rugged peaks such as Rainbow Mtn and Madkin Mtn rise above the residential grid, while natural water sources like Mullins Big Spring and Beasley Spring continue to define the local hydrology alongside the southern reach of Wheeler Lake.
