About this map

Guntersville Lake dominates the central topography of this Marshall County survey, where the Tennessee River's waters meet a series of prominent elevations like Georgia Mtn and Bishop Mtn. The map reveals a landscape defined by its crossings and shorelines, featuring several historic transport points including Honey Ferry, Guntersville Ferry, and the Fort Deposit Ferry. These water-bound landmarks connect small communities such as Cottonville, Grant, and Henryville to the regional hub of Guntersville.

Genealogists will find a high density of family-named burial sites, including the Manning Cem, Stewart Cem, and Henry Cem, often tucked into valleys like Roden Valley or along the ridges of Taylor Ridge. The presence of the Guntersville Municipal Airport Joe Starnes Field near Buck Island indicates the area's modern infrastructure, yet the map remains deeply rooted in its local geography, from the Honeycomb Spring to the distinct cliffs of Thrasher Bluff.
