About this map

Shottsville and Tremont sit at the southern margins of a landscape defined by the intersection of state and county lines. This survey documents the boundary between Itawamba County, Mississippi, and Marion and Franklin Counties in Alabama, where State Line Rd NE traces the precise division between the two states. The settlement pattern is characterized by small crossroads communities and family-named landmarks connected by a dense network of country roads like Cotton Gin Rd and Mt Gilead Rd.

Waterways such as Bull Mountain Cr and its tributaries, including Cypress Cr and Briar Cr, weave through the terrain, historically dictating the placement of early homesteads. Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous recorded burial sites, from Pates Temple Cem in the northwest to Donham Cem in the east, which anchor the history of rural localities like Oakland, Eastman, and Bounds Crossroads.
