2018 Map of Natchez

About this map

Scotland and the surrounding rural landscapes of Monroe County are defined by a network of creeks and small family cemeteries that trace the area's genealogical history. The terrain is deeply carved by water, with Big Flat Creek and Robinson Creek winding through the countryside, punctuated by local landmarks like Robinson Bridge and Davis Bridge. This 2018 survey reveals a settlement pattern centered on community institutions, visible through the high density of burial grounds such as Old Scotland Cem, Shiloh Cem, and New Liberty Cem. Significant water features like Natchez State Lake and the smaller Stallworths Black Pond provide focal points for the landscape near the community of Natchez. The road network, including Old Scotland Rd and River Ridge Rd, connects these scattered settlements and homesteads across the varied topography of the Alabama interior.
