About this map

Hackleburg and the surrounding Marion County uplands are defined by the winding course of the Buttahatchee River and the significant geographic boundary of the Tennessee Valley Divide. This 2020 survey reveals a landscape where local history is anchored by numerous family and community cemeteries, such as Burleson Cem, Old Bethel Cem, and Sullins Cem, which are scattered across the rural terrain. The topography is deeply dissected by a network of waterways including Camp Cr, Barn Cr, and Clifty Cr, creating a complex of ridges and hollows like Brush Creek Hollow.

Industry and transport are evidenced by Chalk Mine Rd and Prospector Rd, suggesting the area's geological utility. The distribution of sites like Union Hill Ch and several distinct clusters of the Burleson Cem name reflect long-standing settlement patterns in this part of Alabama. Water management and early local milling are noted at Tyre Mill Pond, providing a tangible link to the area's rural development along the Tyre Mill Cr.
