To use the Marengo County tax map for a vacant land search:

- Line up the assessed land values of a few neighboring tracts near Demopolis to sanity-check an asking price.
- Trace the frontage on any tract near Beaver Creek; without it, access depends on a recorded easement.
- Check the flood layer and ask about septic and permits; open land in Marengo County isn't automatically buildable.
