About this map

Meridianville and the northern reaches of Huntsville anchor this Madison County landscape, where the agricultural past of the Tennessee Valley meets modern institutional expansion. The campus of Alabama A & M Univ serves as a central landmark, situated just south of the residential developments of Meadow Hills and Edmonton Heights. The topography is defined by prominent elevations such as Wade Mtn and Smithers Mtn, providing a dramatic backdrop to the Huntsville Executive Airport.

Genealogists will find a high density of small family burial grounds and established churchyards, including Taylor Chapel Cem, Union Hill Cem, and the sprawling Valhalla Memorial Gardens. The drainage of Brier Fork Flint River and its various tributaries like Beaverdam Cr dictated early settlement patterns near Moores Mill and Mount Lebanon. Historic landmarks like Stone Cuts near Panther Knob offer a glimpse into the localized geological features that have long characterized the region.
