About this map

The Buttahatchee River meanders across the southern reach of this Marion County landscape, anchoring a region defined by its dense network of family cemeteries and rural homesteads. The small community of Brinn sits centrally along the local road network, serving as a landmark in a terrain carved by numerous waterways including Barn Creek, Camp Creek, and Goodwin Creek.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of burial sites across the township, ranging from Union Hill Cemetery in the north to Old Bethel Cemetery in the east and the namesake Burleson Cemetery near the river. Industrial and agricultural history is reflected in features like Tyre Mill Pond on Tyre Mill Creek, while the presence of Chalk Mine Rd suggests the historical importance of mineral extraction in this part of Alabama. The map captures a transition between traditional family-named landmarks and the evolving infrastructure of the early 21st century.
