About this map

Guntersville Lake dominates this portion of the Tennessee River valley, where rising waters have shaped a complex shoreline of inlets and islands. Along the northern reaches, the Honeycomb Natural Bridge stands near the settlement of Cottonville, marking a terrain of high ridges and deep hollows like John R Hollow and McDonald Hollow. The geography is defined by prominent elevations such as Grassy Mtn and Gunters Mtn, which overlook a network of smaller communities including Grant, Henryville, and Claysville.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of family-named burial sites, including the Mt Carmel Cem, Troup Cem, and Stewart Cem, often situated on the higher ground of gaps and ridges. To the south, the Houston Bridge and Joe Starnes Field signify the area's modern infrastructure, while the rugged bluffs at Street Bluff and Honey Bluff highlight the enduring riverine character of Marshall County.
