About this map

Guntersville Lake dominates this 1980s landscape, where the Tennessee River winds through the prominent ridges of Gunters Mountain and Bishop Mountain. The map reveals a complex shoreline of inlets and points, including Hale Point and Ft Deposit Point, that shape the local geography and recreation. In the northeast, the settlement of Noahs Ark sits near Honeycomb Spring, while the community of Henryville anchors the southeastern reach near Seibold.

Tracing family history is supported by numerous small burial grounds and rural congregations, such as Simpson Point Church, Hampton Grove Church, and the Grassy Mountain Church. The transition from rural homesteads to modern infrastructure is evident in the presence of the Guntersville Municipal Airport and the Guntersville Lake Yacht Club near Claysville. These details, combined with physical landmarks like Piney Branch Falls and Ricketts Gap, provide a comprehensive look at the human and natural features of Marshall County during this era.
