About this map

Redstone Arsenal dominates the southern half of this modern Alabama landscape, a region characterized by its intersection of military infrastructure and academic institutions. The terrain is punctuated by isolated elevations like Madkin Mtn and Weeden Mtn, while residential developments such as Rainbow Mountain Heights and Sherwood Park expand between established institutions like Calhoun Community College and the University of Alabama in Huntsville.

Genealogists and local historians will find a dense concentration of smaller cemeteries, including the Slave Cem, Key-Blow Cem, and Powhatan-Toney Cem, many tucked away near water features like Williams Pond and Lady Ann Lake. The map details the complex drainage systems of the area, featuring Mullins Big Spring and Barren Fork Cr, reflecting the natural hydrology that underlies this rapidly developing metropolitan corridor.
