2012 Map of Marianna

About this map

The small settlement of Marianna serves as the focal point for this section of Marshall County, characterized by a complex network of creeks and numerous family-named burial grounds. Significant waterways like Pigeon Roost Cr and Cuffawa Cr carve through the landscape, dictating the placement of early homesteads and cemeteries. Genealogists will find a concentration of historic sites, including the Chulahoma Cem, Mount Gillie Cem, and Nunnally Cem. The map illustrates a rural continuity, where local life follows established routes like Old Hwy 4 and Laws Hill Rd. The distribution of burial sites like the Dean Cem and Wilkins Cem suggests the historical footprint of prominent families throughout the northern Mississippi countryside during the early 21st century.
