About this map

Pearces Mills sits at the northern edge of this Marion County landscape, where the Buttahatchee River winds through the terrain near Bee Mtn. The area is defined by a series of small, dispersed settlements including Pull Tight, Yampertown, and Pea Ridge, connected by a network of county roads and state routes like Al-253. The southern portion of the map shows the transition into more established towns at Brilliant and the outskirts of Winfield, where the topography levels out around Brilliant Lake and Clifty Cr.

Family history is well-preserved through numerous burial sites such as Brilliant Memorial Cem, Old Bostick Cem, and the May and Akers Cem. The drainage patterns of Luxapallila Cr and its tributaries, including Pearces Mill Cr, illustrate the rural water-management system of the region. This 2014 survey documents the modern layout of these Alabama communities, from the residential streets of Guin to the rural expanses of Boston.
