About this map

Marion serves as the central hub of this Crittenden County landscape, where the street grid of the county seat transitions into a complex network of rural roads and ridges. The terrain is marked by numerous family-named landmarks and historical burial sites, such as the Old Marion Cem and Mapleview Cem near the town center. To the south, the smaller settlement of Crayne sits along the highway, surrounded by distinctive topographical features like Cochran Hill, Twin Knobs, and Crayne Knob.

Transport and water resources have long shaped the region, evidenced by the Harrison Trestle crossing the northern drainages and the presence of City Lake. Local genealogy is well-represented through scattered rural cemeteries including Baker Cem, Paris Cem, and the Rushing Cem located near Woodall Bluff. The eastern portion of the map is defined by the winding course of Butler Cr and the heights of Pilot Knob, illustrating the traditional settlement patterns of western Kentucky.
