From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Huntsville meridian begins on the northern boundary of Alabama, in latitude 34° 59′ 27" north, longitude 86° 34′ 16″ west[1] from Greenwich, extends south to latitude 33° 06′ 20″ north, and governs the surveys in the northern district of Alabama.
Within the city of Huntsville, Alabama, Meridian Street coincides with the Huntsville Meridian for most of its length north of US-72.[2] The marker for the Huntsville Meridian is in the Maple Hill Cemetery near downtown Huntsville.[3]
