2018 Map of Scott

About this map

The Mississippi Delta landscape of northern Washington County and southern Bolivar County is defined by the sweeping curves of the Mississippi River levee system and fertile lowlands. Lake Bolivar and Lake Vista dominate the northern terrain, remnants of the river's historical meanders. The settlement pattern follows established routes like Levee Rd and Forkland Rd, connecting small communities such as Scott, Lamont, and Forkland. This 2018 survey reveals a territory dense with genealogical markers, including Williams Chapel Cem and Ward Chapel Cem. The intersection of drainage networks, such as Williams Bayou and Deer Cr, illustrates the sophisticated water management required in this alluvial plain. Family-named landmarks and rural connectors like Nokes Rd and Huddleston Rd provide a clear view of the region's contemporary rural structure.
