About this map

Wheeler Reservoir and the Elk River dominate the western edge of this Limestone County landscape, reflecting the transformation of the Tennessee Valley during the mid-20th century. The survey reveals a network of rural communities such as Shanghai Mills, O'Neal, and Ripley, all interconnected by the prominent Lee Highway. This era shows a dense social fabric defined by numerous country churches and schools, including Big Creek School, Pleasant Point School, and Riddle Chapel.
