About this map

The Tombigbee River snakes through this portion of Marengo County, defining a landscape shaped by river navigation and rural settlement. Along its winding course, numerous historic river features such as Remberts Landing, Lewis Lower Landing, and Robertson Landing indicate the importance of the waterway for local commerce and transport. The riverbanks are dotted with named sandbars and shoals, including Miles Shoal and Beckleys Bar, which remain significant landmarks for river pilots and local historians tracing the evolution of Alabama's river trade.

In the southern reaches of the map, the community of Myrtlewood serves as a local hub, anchored by the Myrtlewood Post Office and a network of residential streets like S Chestnut Ave and Poplar Ave. To the east, the settlement of Hill Top and the Clover Hill Cemetery provide points of interest for genealogists researching families from the Gilmores and Chickasaw Bogue areas. The confluence of Chickasaw Bogue with the Tombigbee further illustrates the intricate drainage system that has supported the region's timber and agricultural interests for generations.
