2015 Map of Shivers

About this map

The boundary between Simpson, Lawrence, and Jefferson Davis counties meets amidst the rolling drainages of the W Prong Silver Cr and the Middle Prong Silver Cr. This 2015 survey reveals a rural landscape defined by historic family-named burial sites and small crossroads settlements like Westville, Shivers, and Boggan. The presence of numerous cemeteries, including Strong River Cem, Rose Hill Cem, and Stonewall Cem, points to the deep generational roots and former community centers scattered throughout the pinelands. The terrain is intricately etched by tributaries such as Tanyard Cr and Gwinville Br, while the presence of Railroad Ln and Old Westville Rd provides clues to the evolution of local transportation networks and earlier town centers.
