About this map

Shottsville and Tremont anchor the southern reaches of this landscape, where the Mississippi-Alabama state line bisects a terrain defined by the winding course of Bull Mountain Cr. Small settlements like Bounds Crossroads and Eastman are connected by a network of rural routes such as State Line Rd and Cotton Gin Rd, reflecting a long history of agricultural life and cross-border movement between Itawamba, Franklin, and Marion counties.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the ridges, including Pates Temple Cem in the northwest and Donham Cem near the eastern edge. The topography is intricately carved by numerous drainages such as Briar Cr and Hurricane Cr, illustrating the challenging geography that shaped early homesteading and road placement in this part of the Deep South. The transition from Oakland toward the Alabama border highlights the dispersed nature of these upland communities.
