About this map

Linden serves as the central hub of this West Alabama landscape, where the Louisville and Nashville and St Louis-San Francisco railroads intersect. The town’s civic life is well-documented, featuring the Marengo County Hosp, the local High Sch, and the Marengo County Sch just to the south. Significant rural infrastructure is visible, including a sprawling network of pipelines and a prominent substation that reflect the mid-century industrial growth of the region.

Outside the town limits, the terrain transitions into a patchwork of creek bottoms and wooded hills, including Grant Hill and the small settlement of Pin Hook. Notable watercourses like Chickasaw Bogue and Sycamore Creek wind through the topography, while Chickasaw State Park occupies the northern reaches near Hopewell Ch. For researchers of local history, the map preserves the locations of several community landmarks, from Jefferson Station on the rail line to the Chalk Level Ch in the southwestern quadrant.
