2014 Map of Rogersville

About this map

Rogersville sits at the heart of this landscape north of the Tennessee River, where the waters of Wheeler Lake define the southern boundary and separate Lauderdale County from Lawrence and Limestone Counties. The map reveals a high density of rural burial grounds, including the Old Romine Cem, Thornton Cem, and Whitehead Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research in this portion of northern Alabama. The topography is marked by distinctive features such as Saltpeter Cave Bluff and Elk River Shoals, reflecting the unique riverfront geology. Residential growth and recreational interests are evident in the numerous shorefront communities like Pine Haven Shores and Ramblewood Shores, while the presence of Wheeler Dam Village points to the long-standing impact of hydroelectric infrastructure on the local economy and settlement patterns.
