About this map

Thomaston sits at the southwestern edge of this landscape, where the street grid of 2nd Ave and 4th Ave meets the highway corridor of Al-28. The terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries including Chickasaw Bogue and Poplar Cr that wind through the rural timberlands and fields of eastern Marengo County. Further east, the settlement of McKinley serves as a local landmark near Bethel Hill Cem and Turkeypen Cr.

Genealogists and local historians will find several significant burial sites, such as Zion Campground Cem and Jericho Cem, which are tucked away along unpaved routes like Feather Dr. The eastern boundary of the map follows the winding line between Marengo, Perry, and Wilcox counties, marked by landmarks like Sand Cr and the open expanse of Flowers Field. This 2014 survey captures the persistent rural character of the Black Belt region, showing how long-established family names remain tied to water bodies like Stallworths Shadow Lake.
