2024 Map of Myrtlewood South

About this map

Myrtlewood and the community of Half Acre anchor this modern survey of central Marengo County, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of creek drainages. The topography is intricately carved by Beaver Creek, Landrums Creek, and the many forks of Double Creek, including North Double Creek and South Double Creek. These waterways dictate the local layout of rural roads and historical landmarks. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet is a significant resource for locating burial grounds, including the Campground Cem and James Chapel Cem in the north, and the Geneva Presbyterian Church Cem further south. The map reflects a predominantly rural character, with AL Highway 69 serving as the primary north-south artery connecting these small settlements and their associated country churches.
