About this map

The Old Indian Treaty Boundary defines the northern edge of this landscape, marking a historical division between Clarke and Marengo counties. This rural interior of Alabama is characterized by a dense network of creek systems including Bashi Creek, Deep Creek, and the prominent Tallahatta Creek. Settlements are dispersed throughout the region, often centered around local congregations such as Bashan Ch, Tallahatta Ch, and Walnut Grove Ch.

Genealogists and local historians can find significant landmarks like Tallahatta Springs and the Community Hall, which served as local gathering points in the late 1970s. The presence of Gravel Pits and a Drill Hole near the town of Morvin indicates the light industrial footprint of the era. The mapping also records family-linked locations such as Lucker Cem and Campbell Cem, providing vital clues for tracing local family roots in the areas surrounding Holtamville and Opine.
