About this map

Mississippi and Alabama borderlands meet in this late 1960s survey, detailing a landscape defined by small rural settlements and agricultural clearings. The community of Bexar serves as a central point in Marion County, surrounded by a network of family-named landmarks and local institutions. The presence of numerous cemeteries and country churches, such as Elvis Spearman Ch and Guthrie Cut Ch, suggests a deeply rooted community structure maintained through generations.

Waterways like Sipsey Creek and Hurricane Creek wind through the timbered hills, while the Hopewell Lookout Tower and a Radio Tower stand as prominent navigation points. Academic history is represented by the Ada Hanna High Sch, providing a clear look at the educational infrastructure of the era. The map also documents the local industry through several Gravel Pits and the winding course of Barnesville Creek in the south.
