About this map

Buttahatchee River drainage patterns define this landscape in Marion County, where the Buttahatchee Dam creates Lake Buttahatchee in the northern reaches. The area is characterized by numerous family and community burial grounds, which offer a dense record of local genealogy. These sites, such as Myers Hill Cemetery, Old Mars Hill Cemetery, and Halcomb Cemetery, are scattered across the terrain between the Little New River and Crooked Creek.

Small settlements like Sunny Home and Whitehouse are connected by a network of county roads, including CO Hwy-19 and CO Hwy-171. To the west, the community of Gold Mine sits near the Gold Mine Cemetery and the Lake Number 3 Dam, while the rugged relief of Cagle Cove marks the eastern portion of the quadrangle. The map captures a rural Alabama landscape shaped by its river systems and longstanding local family names.
