2018 Map of Marietta

About this map

Marietta and its neighbor East Marietta anchor the southern edge of this Prentiss County survey, where the landscape is defined by the winding paths of Big Brown Cr and Hurricane Cr. The distribution of rural landmarks suggests a community centered around family and faith, with numerous burial grounds such as Candler Chapel Cem, Blythes Chapel Cem, and Siloam Cem scattered among the hills and creek bottoms. The road network, largely comprised of county routes like Walden Rd, connects small crossroads and landings like Hobo Station and New Site. To the north and east, the terrain is carved by smaller tributaries including Sapling Cr and Little Jersey Cr, creating a complex drainage pattern that has historically influenced the placement of homesteads and local churches, including Mount Pisgah Cem and Mount Nebo Cem on the higher ground between the various branches of the river system.
