2011 Map of Thomaston East

About this map

Thomaston sits at the western edge of this Marengo County landscape, which transitions from the small town center into a network of managed water and rural homesteads. The topography is defined by the meandering Chickasaw Bogue and numerous smaller drainages like Turkeypen Creek and Poplar Creek. A significant amount of local history is preserved through the naming of small burial grounds and water control features. Family names and local legacy are evident in landmarks such as Stallworths Shadow Lake and Stallworths Dam, as well as the Jericho Cemetery and Glovers Cemetery that dot the countryside. Near the settlement of McKinley, several cemeteries including Bethel Hill Cemetery and Zion Cemetery highlight the area’s long-standing residential patterns. In the north, Prairie Lake Number One and Prairie Lake Number Two represent modern agricultural or recreational water management within the Alabama Black Belt.
