2011 Map of Mason Ridge

About this map

Wheeler Lake and the Tennessee River dominate this 2011 survey, illustrating the significant hydrological engineering of northern Alabama. The landscape is marked by numerous family-named burial grounds, such as Peebles Cemetery, the Blackwell-Collier Cemetery, and Hunley Cemetery, which serve as vital markers for local genealogical research. Small settlements and rural intersections like Swancott, New Hope, and Echols Crossroads are connected by a network of roads including Wall Triana Hwy and Boeing Blvd SW. Significant terrain features such as Turkey Mountain, Thompson Hollow, and the Sand Mountain High Ridge define the elevation changes south of the river. The presence of Rockhouse Landing and Cain Landing along the northern banks of the waterway indicates the historical and modern importance of river access in Madison County.
