About this map

Hackleburg serves as the primary community in this portion of Marion County, where the topography is defined by the Tennessee Valley Divide and the Buttahatchee River basin. The landscape is a network of ridges and hollows, including Brush Creek Hollow and the drainage of Cook Br. For local historians and genealogists, the map is remarkably dense with family-named landmarks and burial sites, indicating a long-settled rural community.

Numerous cemeteries are distributed across the terrain, from Union Hill Cem in the north to Sullins Cem near the southern boundary. Small historic centers like Brinn are connected by a web of local routes such as Chalkmine Rd and Burleson Cemetery Rd, which likely trace the original settlement patterns of families like the Burlesons and Armstrongs. The presence of Tyre Mill Pond and various creek systems suggests the importance of water resources to the early development of this upland region.
