2024 Map of Browns

About this map

Bogue Chitto Creek meanders through this portion of Dallas and Perry counties, defining a landscape of low-lying wetlands and scattered family-named water bodies. Small rural settlements like Browns, Massillon, and Marshall serve as historical anchors along the road networks. The area is notable for its numerous private impoundments, such as Lake Walnutta and the W W Weissinger Number 2 Lake, which suggest a long history of land management for agriculture or recreation. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of rural burial sites across the township lines, including New Vernon Cem, Vernon Cem, and Bell Cem. The presence of the Saint Chapter Cem near the southern boundary further highlights the established community hubs that have persisted in this quiet corner of Alabama.
