2024 Map of Margerum

USGS Topo · Published 2024

About this map

Bear Creek flows through the borderlands of Alabama and Mississippi, carving a landscape defined by deep hollows and creek bottomlands in the western reaches of the Tennessee River valley. This 2024 data reflects a region where the modern Natchez Trace Parkway bisects a landscape long shaped by its proximity to the water and the state line. The settlement of Margerum sits near the crossing of Buzzard Roost Creek, surrounded by dozens of named topographic features like Chalk Mine Hollow and Fish Trap Hollow that point to early local industry and subsistence practices. Numerous family burial grounds, including the Caryton / Cockburn Cem and Crenshaw Cem, are preserved across the ridges, providing a clear map for genealogists tracing the legacy of the families who settled this corner of Colbert Co. The presence of landmarks like Fishtrap Ford and Spout Spring highlights the historical importance of natural water sources and river crossings in the area's development.
