About this map

Myrtlewood sits at the southern edge of a riverine landscape defined by the shifting currents of the Tombigbee River system. This contemporary survey captures the intricate network of bars and shoals that characterize the local waterway, including Lone Brothers Bar, Remberts Bar, and Beckleys Bar. These features, alongside Smith Island and Miles Shoal, illustrate a complex riparian environment where land and water meet in a series of dynamic crossings and landings.

Upland from the river, the terrain transitions into a more settled pattern around Hill Top and Pin Hook. The presence of the Clover Hill Cem and established routes like AL Highway 69 suggest a long-standing agricultural and rural community. The landscape is further dissected by numerous watercourses such as Chickasaw Bogue and Sixmile Cr, which have historically shaped property lines and local transportation throughout Marengo County.
