About this map

Shottsville sits at the southern edge of this borderland survey, where the rural terrain of Itawamba County meets the Alabama state line. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Bull Mountain Creek and its many tributaries, including Hurricane Creek and McConegal Creek. Small settlements and historic gathering points like Bounds Crossroads, Eastman, and Oakland are connected by a network of named country roads, such as Miss Ala Rd and Cotton Gin Rd.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across these hills, from Mount Zion Cemetery in the north to Donham Cemetery in the east. The presence of numerous family and community landmarks, such as Pates Temple Cemetery and Ridge Cemetery, suggests a long-standing pattern of dispersed agricultural settlement. Water management is evident through local infrastructure like the Collier Lake Dam and C.W. Murphy Pond Dam.
