About this map

The town of Marion serves as the focal point of this western Kentucky survey, situated where the ridge-and-valley terrain meets a complex network of streams like Crooked Cr and Butler Cr. Local industry and infrastructure are evident in the Marion-Crittenden County Airport and the sprawling grid of the county seat, while the surrounding landscape is marked by prominent elevations such as Wilson Hill and Peter Stevens Hill.

Genealogists will find a wealth of burial records across the quadrangle, from the larger Mapleview Cem and Old Marion Cem in town to smaller family and community plots including Cruce Cem, Paris Cem, and the Rushing Cem. The map documents the rural character of nearby settlements like Crayne and Piney Fork, connected by winding routes like Old Shady Grove Rd and Fords Ferry Rd. Unique landmarks like the Harrison Trestle and natural features such as Medical Spring provide specific points of interest for those studying the regional development and natural history of Crittenden County.
