2024 Map of Scott

About this map

Scott and Lamont sit within a highly structured agricultural landscape at the border of Bolivar and Washington counties. This 2024 survey reveals a territory defined by intricate water management, where Bull Bayou, Williams Bayou, and Straight Bayou thread between large-scale fields. The settlement pattern is deeply connected to family and community history, evidenced by a high density of rural burial grounds such as Saint John's Missionary Baptist Church Cem and Williams Chapel Cem. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, Winterville and Forkland anchor a network of local roads including Slab Rd and Wilkerson Rd. The prominent curves of Lake Bolivar and Lake Vista suggest the ancient movements of the Mississippi River, leaving behind a fertile plain now dominated by rectangular land divisions and a strictly organized transportation grid.
