1978 Map of Miller

About this map

Miller serves as a focal point in this Marengo County landscape during the late 1970s, situated within a dense network of creek drainages that define the local geography. The area's social fabric is anchored by several rural congregations and their burial grounds, such as Bethlehem Ch, Bethlehem Cem, and Berry Chapel Cem. The settlement pattern follows the ridges between water bodies like Beaver Creek and Wilson Creek, with small communities such as Octagon and Calvary connected by secondary roads. A notable geographic feature in the eastern section is Marengo Lake, while the topography to the west is carved by numerous smaller tributaries including Cane Creek and Turkey Branch. This survey provides a clear look at the transitional nature of this Alabama landscape, where scattered settlements and timberlands meet at the intersection of several townships.
