About this map

The Old Indian Treaty Boundary carves a diagonal path through this 1970s landscape, serving as a historical demarcation between Marengo and Clarke Counties. The topography is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including Bashi Creek, Tallahatta Creek, and Satilpa Creek, which drainage patterns have long influenced local settlement. To the east, Thomasville emerges as a primary hub, featuring the Thomasville Academy and McFadden Memorial Gardens.

Smaller rural communities like Bashi, Glover, and Midway are interspersed among family-named landmarks and local institutions. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several country churches and burial grounds, such as Messiah Ch, Miles Chapel, and the Choctaw Corner Cem. The presence of the Fish Hatchery and Substation reflects the infrastructure of the late twentieth century in rural Alabama, while Tallahatta Springs points to the area's geological and social history.
