About this map

Wheeler Lake and its intricate shoreline dominate the southern edge of this Limestone County landscape, reflecting the massive water management projects of the mid-20th century. The Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge and the Wheeler Waterfowl Management Area define the transition from the Tennessee River to the fertile agricultural plains. Settlement patterns here are deeply tied to the railroads, with Harris Station and Tanner situated along the Louisville and Nashville line, while the Southern railway serves the community of Belle Mina. The presence of the Auburn Experimental Station and the Tennessee Valley State Vocational-Technical School underscores the era's focus on technical and agricultural advancement. For local historians, family-named landmarks like Murphree Place and Anderson Plantation sit alongside numerous small cemeteries, including Gamble Cem and Solomons Temple Cem, documenting the area's rural genealogy.
