2018 Map of Myrtlewood South

About this map

Myrtlewood and the small community of Half Acre anchor this survey of Marengo County, Alabama, where the landscape is defined by the winding tributaries of the Tombigbee River watershed. The terrain is intricately carved by Beaver Creek, Landrums Cr, and Double Cr, creating a network of ridges and hollows that historically dictated settlement patterns. Local heritage is concentrated at several rural burial grounds and places of worship, including James Chapel Cem, Geneva Presbyterian Church Cem, and Beaver Creek Baptist Cem, which often served as the social centers for these timber and agricultural neighborhoods. A notable landmark, the Iron Bridge, spans the waters where local roads like Rembert Hills Rd and Camp Ground Rd connect these outlying homesteads to the village centers.
