2011 Map of Flatwood

About this map

Flatwood serves as the primary settlement hub in this rural Marengo County landscape, situated at the junction of several local routes. The area is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the prominent Chickasaw Bogue and Michigan Creek to the north, and Red Creek to the southeast. For those researching local lineages, the map identifies three significant burial grounds: Sidney Chapel Cemetery in the northeast corner, Mormons Cemetery in the southwest near Goose Creek, and Goose Creek Cemetery just to the east. The terrain is crisscrossed by established thoroughfares like Co RD 53 and Co RD 14, providing a clear view of the rural road network and settlement patterns in the early 21st century. The density of named creeks, such as Bokok Creek, Martin Creek, and Mud Creek, suggests a landscape shaped by its drainage into the nearby Black Warrior River basin.
