2018 Map of Marion Junction

About this map

Marion Junction serves as the primary hub in this Dallas County landscape, where the rail-aligned settlement patterns of the Alabama Black Belt meet the winding course of the Cahaba River. The area is characterized by numerous family and community landmarks, particularly evident in the concentration of burial sites such as the Rasco Family Cemetery and the Marion Junction Community Cemetery. To the east, the village of Harrell sits along the transit corridor, while the river's path is marked by significant wetlands and oxbow formations like Sherman Pond and Lake Lanier. Evidence of historical river crossings persists in the naming of Moores Ferry Road, which leads toward the water near Milton Branch. This documentation provides a clear view of the rural township structure, including Prosperity Cemetery and Taylor Cemetery, reflecting the deeply rooted genealogical history of this river-valley region.
