About this map

The town of Linden serves as the focal point of this 1970 Marengo County survey, situated at the crossroads of significant regional rail and road networks. The landscape is defined by the convergence of several waterways, including Bogue Chickasaw Creek, Sycamore Creek, and Threemile Creek, which drain the undulating terrain toward the south and west. To the north, the protected lands of Chickasaw State Park provide a distinct contrast to the surrounding rural development and agricultural tracts.

Local history is preserved through the mapping of small settlements and community hubs such as Pin Hook and Jefferson Station, along with numerous rural religious sites like Hopewell Ch and Forest Hill Ch. The presence of the Marengo County Sch and Marengo County Hosp in the county seat highlights the administrative and social importance of the area. This study also documents the infrastructure of the era, from the St Louis-San Francisco railway to the prominent Radio Tower near Grant Hill.
