About this map

The town of Hackleburg serves as the primary northern settlement in this Marion County landscape, situated just south of the Tennessee Valley Divide. This topographic profile reveals a complex network of headwater tributaries, where Tyre Mill Cr and Clifty Cr flow through deeply etched valleys. The landscape is notably dense with family-named burial grounds, including Union Hill Cem, Old Bethel Cem, and multiple locations for Burleson Cem, which are scattered among the ridges and rural road junctions. The southern portion of the quadrangle is defined by the winding course of the Buttahatchee River, which receives drainage from numerous small creeks such as Possum Br and Barn Cr. The prevalence of named cemeteries and legacy road labels like Chalk Mine Rd and Biggerstaff Br provides a clear view of the longstanding rural settlement patterns and local lineage in the hills of Northwest Alabama.
