About this map

The Cahaba River winds through the heart of this Black Belt landscape, defining the rural character of western Dallas County. The settlement of Marion Junction serves as a local hub near the western edge, where the Marion Junction Community Cem and Rasco Family Cem provide significant points of interest for genealogical research. Further north, the small community of Pernell sits near the Pernell Cem and the confluence of Oakmulgee Creek with the river.

The map reveals a landscape heavily shaped by local water bodies and family heritage, seen in features like J M Gaston Number One Lake and J M Gaston Number Two Lake. Transportation is anchored by Us-80 and Al-14, which facilitate travel between these dispersed settlements. Numerous family-named burial sites, including the Johnson Cem and Craig Cem, are scattered across the terrain, reflecting deep generational ties to the land near Harrell and the surrounding river bottoms.
