1952 Map of Marianna

About this map

Marianna serves as the regional hub in this mid-century portrait of Jackson County, where the Louisville and Nashville railroad anchors the town's grid. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Chipola River and the significant presence of the Florida Caverns State Park to the north. Local civic life is well-documented through institutional landmarks like the Northwest Florida State Hospital and Chipola Junior College, alongside numerous rural schools such as Buckhorn Sch and Pope Sch. Genealogists will find a wealth of specific local history in the numerous burial grounds, including Orange Hill Cem, Riverside Cem, and the more remote Poplar Spring Cem near the eastern edge of the survey area. To the northeast, the settlement of Greenwood sits amidst a network of country churches like Union Hill Ch and St Mark Ch.
