2011 Map of Thomaston West

About this map

Chickasaw Bogue meanders through this portion of Marengo County, defining the drainage patterns of a landscape dotted with long-established cemeteries and small rural settlements. This 2011 topographic survey documents the intersection of local history and modern infrastructure, from the small community of Half Chance to the Linden Municipal Airport in the southwest. A high density of burial sites, including Tabernacle Cemetery, Saint Mathews Cemetery, and Little Flanders Field Cemetery, suggests deep ancestral roots in this agricultural region. The eastern edge is anchored by the town of Thomaston, while the Camp Thomaston State Prison Camp and Mitchell Dam illustrate the more institutional and industrial uses of the land. Throughout the quadrangle, minor watercourses like Sandy Branch and Little Dry Creek feed into larger arteries, reflecting the area's natural hydrology alongside a network of county roads named for local landmarks.
