2018 Map of Russellville

About this map

Russellville serves as the primary hub of this northern Alabama landscape, situated just south of the Colbert County and Franklin County line. The map illustrates a transition from the structured residential blocks of Woodlawn Heights and Hester Heights to the more dispersed rural communities like Tharptown and Pleasant Ridge. Local geography is defined by a series of prominent elevations, including Underwood Mountain and Coburn Mountain, which look over a network of small water bodies and springs such as Hyde Lake, City Lake, and Chalybeate Spring. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the quadrangle, ranging from large grounds like Franklin Memory Gardens to smaller family markers like Young Cemetery and Osborn Hill Cemetery. The mapping of small creeks, including Stinking Bear Creek and Hargett Branch, reveals the intricate drainage patterns that have shaped property lines and road placements throughout the region.
