2020 Map of Rogersville

About this map

Rogersville serves as the hub of this Lauderdale County landscape, where the town's grid meets the irregular shoreline of Wheeler Lake and Wheeler Reservoir. The map reveals a dense concentration of family history preserved in local landmarks, including the Old Romine Cem, McCartney Cem, and the Oliver-Bedingfield Memorial Cem. These sites, along with smaller settlements like Thorntontown and Toonersville, reflect the ancestral settlement patterns of northern Alabama before modern expansion. To the south, the terrain descends toward the water, where Weaver Island and the Elk River Shoals mark the confluence of major waterways. The presence of Saltpeter Cave Bluff and various springs like Bolin Spring and Warmack Spring highlights the area's complex hydrology, while names like Slop Hollow and Lock One Hollow provide clues to the historic navigation and land use along the river's edge.
