About this map

Huntsville and Madison anchor this 2018 topographic survey, revealing the dense intersection of modern urban development and significant military installations. The landscape is dominated by the sprawling grounds of the Redstone Arsenal, which includes the Redstone Army Airfield and numerous named summits like Weeden Mtn and Madkin Mtn. The proximity of the Univ-of-Alabama-in-Huntsville and Calhoun Community College highlights the region's role as a center for education and aerospace technology.

Suburban growth is evident in residential areas such as Skyline Acres and Clift Acres, yet the map preserves dozens of early family burial grounds that predate this expansion. Researchers can find numerous small cemeteries like Gowan Cem, Inman Cem, and Powhatan-Toney Cem tucked away near modern landmarks. Natural features including Lady Ann Lake and the wetlands of Bailey Swamp provide a stark contrast to the heavy infrastructure of University Dr NW and the Toftot Throughway.
