About this map

The Tennessee River-Wheeler Reservoir dominates this 1940s landscape, serving as the border between Madison and Morgan counties. The northern bank is largely defined by the expansive Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge and the developing military footprints of the Huntsville Arsenal and Redstone Arsenal. South of the river, the terrain rises sharply toward Brindley Mountain, where a rural network of churches and cemeteries reveals a long-established agrarian community. Local landmarks such as Mt Moriah Church, Mt Pleasant Church, and Leadus Sch serve as focal points for settlements like Talucah and Valhermoso Springs. The presence of numerous family burial grounds, including the Draper Cem and Ballinger Cem, provides significant genealogical value for those tracing lineage in this river valley region.
