2002 Map of Marion North

About this map

The city of Marion serves as the focal point of this survey, anchored by the campus of Judson College and the sprawling Marion National Fish Hatchery. The landscape transition reflects the diverse land use of Perry County, from the academic and civic center of the town to the managed wilderness of the Talladega National Forest in the northeast. Waterways such as Old Town Creek and the Cahaba River define the local topography, while numerous rural congregations like Simpson Chapel and Mt Zion Ch suggest a landscape structured by tight-knit community nodes. Genealogists will find particular value in the documentation of family and community burial grounds, including the Mt Nebo Cem and Heard Cem, which sit alongside distinctive landmarks like the Marion Lookout and various Communication Towers.
