2018 Map of Surginer

About this map

Surginer and the surrounding timberlands of eastern Marengo County are defined by a complex network of creeks and small family cemeteries that trace the region's rural genealogy. The landscape is carved by watercourses such as Pritchett Mill Cr, Baptizing Cr, and Cypress Cr, which feed into the larger Turkey Cr system. Small settlements like Vineland and Hampden anchor the eastern edge of the map near the Marengo and Wilcox County line. The distribution of sites like Arbor Cem, Hosea Cem, and Living Cem suggests a long history of localized family homesteads and church congregations. To the north, Christian Hope Ch and Laurel Presbyterian Cem stand as landmarks of community endurance in this wooded interior of Alabama, where state roads like AL Highway 10 connect these isolated pockets of settlement.
