1968 Map of Thomaston West

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

The town of Dayton and the western outskirts of Thomaston anchor this survey of rural Marengo County, Alabama. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Bogue Chickasaw Creek and its many tributaries, including Dry Creek and Caney Branch, which carve through the wooded terrain. This region was historically shaped by the development of the Seaboard railroad line, which skirts the southern portion of the map through Hugo. Local community life is evidenced by numerous landmarks, from religious centers like Grave Hill Ch and St James Ch to educational sites such as the Palmetto Sch and the County Training Sch. Genealogical researchers may find particular value in the documentation of the Black Cem and Holt Cem, alongside family-named sites like Freddie Jones Field. In the south, the presence of a Prison Camp and a Sandpit indicate more specialized land use near the rail corridor.
