About this map

The Elk River and Wheeler Reservoir dominate the northwestern landscape of this Limestone County study, where the backwaters of the Tennessee River system define the local topography. At this time, the region is a patchwork of small agricultural settlements and crossroads communities like Shanghai, O'Neal, and Persimmon Grove. The map reveals a dense network of family-named landmarks and rural institutions, including numerous churches such as New Berea Ch and Pisgah Chapel, and specialized burial sites like the Crenshaw Cem and Yarbrough Cem.
