About this map

The Buttahatchee River winds through the northwest corner of this Marion County survey, providing a focal point for the corporate boundaries of Hamilton. Just south of town, the Northwest Alabama State Trade Sch and Marion County Airport mark a period of mid-century regional infrastructure development. The landscape is dominated by the LaMarion Wildlife Management Area LWMA, which spans across the Marion Co Lamar County line.

Tracing the rural routes reveals family-named landmarks and historical community hubs like Pikeville, where the Terrell Cem and Pikeville Cem sit near the Pikeville Country Club. The creek networks, including Beaver Creek and Whitley Creek, are dotted with country churches like Antioch Ch and Pleasant Grove Ch, reflecting the deep-rooted social fabric of the area during the late 1960s. Numerous Gravel Pits indicate local industry carved into the wooded hillsides.
