2014 Map of Linden

About this map

The Marengo County seat of Linden serves as the focal point for this 2014 survey, where the street grid is bisected by the convergence of Al-28 and Al-69. The surrounding landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including Chickasaw Bogue and its numerous tributaries such as Threemile Cr and Sycamore Cr. To the north and west, the terrain rises toward Grant Hill near the settlement of Pin Hook. Local land ownership and management are reflected in several named private water bodies, most notably Doctor Max McCord Junior Lake, Owensby Lake Number One, and Paul S Owensby Lake Number Two. These features, along with the Providence Cem near the community of Providence, illustrate the persistent intersection of family legacy and the Black Belt's geography in the early twenty-first century.
