About this map

Huntsville International Airport-Carl T Jones Field anchors the northern portion of this landscape, reflecting the modern industrial and transportation character of the region. This 2018 survey reveals the intersection of three counties—Madison, Morgan, and Limestone—marked by the wide expanse of Wheeler Lake and the complex Rockhouse Buckeye Blackwell Dewatering Area. The terrain transitions from the low wetlands of Leemon Slough and Blackwell Swamp to the high ground of Sand Mtn High Ridge and Turkey Mtn in the south.

Local history and genealogy are well-represented by a high density of family cemeteries, including the Blackwell-Collier Cem, Hunley Cem, and Thatch Cem. Smaller settlements such as Echols Crossroads, Priceville, and Triana dot the landscape, connected by established routes like the Wall Triana Hwy. The map preserves the specific locations of several rural hollows, such as Peck Hollow and Thompson Hollow, providing clear evidence of traditional land use and naming conventions near the banks of Limestone Creek.
