2021 Map of Marion North

About this map

Marion serves as the focal point of this northern Perry County survey, where the concentrated street grid reflects its role as a regional center of education and governance. The presence of Judson College and the Perry County Courthouse underscores the town's longstanding institutional importance. Surrounding the settlement, the landscape transitions into the hills and drainages of the Talladega National Forest, with the Cahaba River and Old Town Creek carving through the terrain. For genealogists and local historians, the map is remarkably dense with burial sites, from the central Marion Cemetery and Saint Wilfrids Cemetery to outlying rural locations like Mount Nebo Cemetery, Calvary Cemetery, and the Heard Cemetery. This collection of named family and church landmarks provides a clear view of the historical settlement patterns across the Rice Creek and Sand Creek watersheds.
