2018 Map of Thomaston West

About this map

Thomaston anchors the southeastern corner of this Marengo County landscape, situated where AL Highway 28 meets a network of local roads like Williams Rd and Golden Rd. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Chickasaw Bogue, which flows through a low-lying area rich with small tributaries such as Sandy Br, Dry Creek, and Michigan Cr. Several distinct rural settlements are scattered across the map, including Hugo to the south and the curiously named Half Chance further west. These communities are often marked by long-standing landmarks, particularly cemeteries that serve as vital records of local families, such as Saint Peter Cem, Saint Mathews Cem, and Cades Chapel Cem. Small water bodies like Mitchell Lake and Whitley Lake provide further focal points within the patchwork of township and range lines that divide this part of the Alabama Black Belt.
