About this map

Wheeler Reservoir dominates the northwestern corner of this study, reflecting the significant landscape transformations brought by the Tennessee Valley Authority. This advance sheet shows the reservoir boundary at 556 feet elevation, submerging the banks where Elk River Mills Bridge once stood. The surrounding Limestone County terrain is defined by a dense network of rural infrastructure, including many family-named landmarks and community hubs like Peeks Store, Tillmans Mill, and Lapingtons Store.
