About this map

Marianna and Galena sit within a landscape of winding creeks and rural crossroads in Marshall County, Mississippi. This 2015 survey reveals a terrain deeply carved by the drainage systems of Pigeon Roost Creek and its tributaries, including Cuffawa Cr and Nunnally Cr. The distribution of family and community burial sites, such as Marvel Cem, Nunnally Cem, and Mount Gillie Cem, suggests a long-standing pattern of dispersed agrarian settlement typical of northern Mississippi.

Modern infrastructure follows many of the historical routes, with Marianna RD and Laws Hill RD connecting the scattered homesteads. The map provides a precise record of local geography, from the Dry Fork Cr lowlands to the higher ground near Yarbrough Cem. This data is essential for understanding the lineage of place names and the enduring physical boundaries established by the Public Land Survey System in Township 4 and 5 South.
