2014 Map of Marion South

About this map

Marion Military Institute anchors the northern portion of this Perry County landscape, marking a historic center of education and military tradition in Marion. Moving south from the town center, the terrain transitions into a patchwork of rural holdings and small settlements including Norman, Vilula, and Hamburg. The geography is defined by the winding course of Bogue Chitto Cr, which flows through the center of the map, and Washington Creek to the west. This area is notable for its numerous named private water bodies and agricultural ponds, such as the extensive Lakeland Farms Pond Number Fourteen and F W Pierce Lake Number One. Local genealogy is reflected in the placement of Friendship Cem and Mars Hill Cem, which serve as quiet landmarks for the families of this central Alabama region.
