2020 Map of Russellville

About this map

Russellville serves as the focal point of this Northwest Alabama study, where the Franklin County Courthouse anchors a city layout branching into neighborhoods like Woodlawn Heights and Hester Heights. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the residential street grids of the valley to the dissected ridges and hollows of the Highland Rim. These highlands are punctuated by prominent features such as Underwood Mtn and Coburn Mtn, while the water system is characterized by numerous small springs and branches like Chalybeate Spring and Stinking Bear Cr. For the family historian, the map preserves the location of many small burial sites outside the larger Franklin Memory Gardens, including Devaney Cem, Sadler Cem, and the Knights of Pythias Cem, alongside rural outliers like Tharp Cem and Henson Cem.
