About this map

Old Spring Hill and its surrounding countryside are defined by a network of rural roads and numerous local burial grounds that trace the genealogy of this Marengo County landscape. The settlement pattern is anchored by institutions like the Old Spring Hill Methodist Cemetery, while several other remote graveyards including Mount Zion Cemetery, Gilfield Cemetery, and Hopewell Cemetery are scattered across the drainage basins of Double Creek and Barton Creek.

Water management is a visible priority in this era, seen in the Whitfield Canal Extension to the north and engineered impoundments like Lake Miriam and Powell Creek Lake Number Nine, which are held by the Miriam Dam and Powell Creek Number 9 Dam respectively. This 2011 survey documents a mix of agricultural activity and timberland, with modern residential developments appearing along corridors like Broadway St and Sportsplex Rd as the area evolved into the early 21st century.
