2020 Map of Hamilton

About this map

Hamilton serves as the focal point of this Northwest Alabama survey, anchored by the Marion County Courthouse near the banks of the Buttahatchee River. The settlement pattern follows a mix of established town grids and winding country routes like 1st Military Rd, reflecting the area's transition from river-bottom lands to the higher terrain marked by State Rock. Genealogists will find a high density of rural burial grounds throughout the quadrangle, including the Cox Family Cem, Antioch Cem, and Streetman Cem. North of town, the community of Pleasant Ridge sits amidst a network of creek drainages such as Williams Cr and Clifty Cr. The map preserves the specific locations of historic family and community landmarks, from Mount Hope Cem to Shiloh Cem, illustrating the deep-rooted social geography of Marion County.
