About this map

The northern edge of Huntsville and the campus of Alabama A & M Univ anchor this landscape as it appeared in the early 21st century. This region of Madison County is defined by the steep elevation changes of the Cumberland Plateau outliers, featuring the notable heights of Chapman Mtn, Smithers Mtn, and the Devils Race Track on Wade Mtn. These ridges rise sharply above developed valleys and the winding course of the Brier Fork Flint River.

Genealogists and local historians will find a dense network of family-named burial grounds and historic communities. From the established settlement at Meridianville to the residential areas of Normal, Meadow Hills, and Glen Park, the map documents contemporary land use alongside heritage sites. Notable landmarks include the Madison County Executive Airport/Tom Sharp Jr Field and numerous cemeteries such as Union Hill Cem and Taylor Chapel Cem that trace the area's ancestral roots.
