About this map

Bonnertown sits directly on the state line, where the southern boundary of Lawrence County meets the Alabama border. This 2016 survey illustrates a landscape defined by small rural hubs and a high concentration of family and community burial grounds, such as Bonnertown Cem and Cottrell Cem. To the north, the terrain transitions into more dissected valleys near Upper Mockeson and Lower Mockeson, where Richardson Ponds and various hollows suggest a geography of ridges and tucked-away watercourses.

The presence of scattered settlements like Idaho, Bird Mill, and Five Points reflects a long-standing pattern of upland farming and milling. Genealogical interest is particularly strong here, with numerous small cemeteries like Center Point Cem, Saint Truitt Cem, and the uniquely named Home Sweet Home Cem marking the locations of early area homesteads. Water features such as Swinney Br and Cotts Cr weave between these established points, following the natural drainage towards the south.
