2021 Map of Marianna

About this map

Marianna and the smaller settlement of Galena anchor this rural Marshall County landscape, where family history is deeply etched into the terrain. The map reveals an extensive network of small burial grounds, including Marvel Cem, Nunnally Cem, and Mount Gillie Cem, often situated near early roads like Laws Hill Rd and Chulahoma Rd. The hydrology is defined by the winding course of Pigeon Roost Creek and its many tributaries, such as Dry Fork Cr and Nunnally Creek, which drain the undulating countryside. This 2021 topographic perspective serves as a precise guide for those tracing family lineages through the region's cemeteries and former homestead sites, maintaining the names of early settlers through landmarks like Yarbrough Cem and Brooks Cem.
