About this map

Wheeler Reservoir and the Elk River dominate the western edge of this Limestone County landscape, reflecting the impact of the Tennessee Valley Authority on the local geography. Inland, the terrain is defined by a dense network of family-named landmarks and rural institutions that anchored the community during the mid-20th century. Named settlements like Ripley, Blackburn, and O'Neal serve as focal points for a series of country churches and schools, including Sunny Hill Ch and the Pleasant Point School.
