About this map

The Buttahatchee River winds through this Marion County landscape, anchoring the regional seat of Hamilton. The 2011 survey reveals a community deeply connected to its local heritage, evidenced by the high density of family and community burial grounds including the Cox Family Cemetery, Streetman Cemetery, and Poplar Log Cemetery. As the primary hub, Hamilton is charted with its essential infrastructure, from the Hamilton Post Office to the Hamilton City Cemetery and the nearby Marion County Airport.

Beyond the central settlement, the landscape transitions into smaller pockets like Pleasant Ridge. The area is defined by a dense network of tributaries such as Clifty Creek, New Hope Creek, and Sevenmile Creek that feed into the main river valley. This map provides genealogists a detailed view of family-named landmarks and rural congregations like Antioch Cemetery and Mount Hope Cemetery, documenting the transition of this Alabama territory into the early 21st century.
