About this map

The Tombigbee River snakes through the heart of this Marengo County landscape, defining the borders with Sumter and Choctaw counties. This riverine environment is characterized by numerous named sandbars and shoals, such as Lone Brothers Bar, Four Mile Bar, and Miles Shoal, indicating the shifting nature of the waterway. The settlement of Myrtlewood serves as a primary local hub, where Railroad St and Chestnut Ave mark the community layout near the southern edge of the quadrangle.

Further inland, the terrain is shaped by several major tributaries, including Chickasaw Bogue and Cahaba Creek. To the east, the small settlement of Hill Top and the Clover Hill Cem provide specific points of interest for genealogical research. The map also highlights significant river features like Smith Island and Robert Emmet Bar, reflecting the long-standing importance of the river for both navigation and local land identification.
