About this map

The Buttahatchee River winds through the southern landscape of this Marion County quadrangle, defining the local geography alongside numerous rural landmarks. The settlement of Clifty sits in the northwest, while the countryside is dotted with foundational community institutions such as Southern Schoolhouse Ch and Buttahatchee Sch. The era's economic activity is visible through scattered Claypits and several Gravel Pits, alongside water-powered history at Tyre Mill Pond. Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial grounds and rural congregations, including the Union Hill Cem, Weatherly Cem, Burleson Cem, and Old Bethel Ch. A Gaging Station on the river and the complex network of creeks like Barn Creek and Little Camp Creek illustrate the importance of water management and natural drainage in this part of northwestern Alabama during the mid-1960s.
