About this map

Linden serves as the central hub of this Marengo County landscape, documented during a period of transition for regional transportation and infrastructure. The town layout is clearly defined, featuring the Marengo County Hosp, the High Sch, and the Marengo County Sch. The rail presence is significant, with the Burlington Northern corridor cutting through the terrain, passing by Jefferson Station and paralleling Sycamore Creek.

North of the town center, the Chickasaw State Park and the winding Bogue Chickasaw dominate the topography, while smaller rural settlements like Grant Hill and Pin Hook are visible to the northwest. Local landmarks such as Hopewell Ch, Bible Chapel, and Chalk Level Ch provide essential touchpoints for genealogists tracing family roots in this part of Alabama. The map also records early industrial markers, including pipelines and a Gaging Sta along the creek.
