2014 Map of Flatwood

About this map

Flatwood lies at the intersection of rural life and the natural waterways of western Alabama, positioned along the border between Marengo Co and Wilcox Co. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of creeks and branches, including the prominent Chickasaw Bogue and Bokok Cr. For genealogists and local historians, the presence of several established burial grounds provides significant research value, with Sidney Chapel Cem located in the northeast, Goose Creek Cem situated along the southern border near Goose Cr, and Mormons Cem positioned in the southwest. Transport through this creek-crossed terrain is managed by a mix of state routes and county roads, such as Al-5, Al-28, and Bokok Creek Rd, which link the scattered residences and family lands that have historically occupied this corner of the Alabama Black Belt.
