1978 Map of Morvin

About this map

The Indian Treaty Boundary cuts across the northern landscape of this region, separating the borders of Marengo and Clarke Counties near Holtamville. This area is defined by a network of rural settlements and small country churches, including Walnut Grove Ch in Morvin and Creels Ch further east. The topography is deeply carved by watercourses like Bashi Creek and Tallahatta Creek, which drain the timbered hillsides. Further south, the map reveals localized community hubs such as Opine and Tallahatta Springs, where a Community Hall and the Bashan Ch serve the local residents. Family history is anchored by sites like Campbell Cem and Lucker Cem, while the presence of Gravel Pits in the northwest suggests the small-scale extractive industries common to the Alabama coastal plain during the mid-1970s.
