2024 Map of Rogersville

About this map

Rogersville serves as the focal point of this North Alabama landscape, situated just north of the expansive Tennessee River and the waters of Wheeler Lake. The area is densely marked with family and community burial grounds, including the Old Romine Cem, James Whitehead Cem, and the Dean - McNairy Cem, providing a deep genealogical record for the region. Shoreline communities such as Thornton, Ferry Shores, and Pine Haven Shores line the northern banks of the reservoir, while the southern reaches across the Wheeler Reservoir transition into Lawrence County. Notable geological and water features define the southern boundary, specifically the Saltpeter Cave Bluff and the submerged Elk River Shoals. The map also details early-established settlements like Thorntontown and Toonersville, connected by a network of Lauderdale County roads that navigate the numerous branches and creeks feeding into the main river system.
