About this map

Coffeeville serves as the primary hub of this Yalobusha County landscape, where the Illinois Central Gulf railroad line cuts a straight path through the undulating terrain. To the south, the waters of Grenada Lake dominate the geography, meeting the Skuna River and forming the Skuna Turkey Creek Public Use Area. The map reveals a deeply rooted rural community, marked by a high density of family and community burial grounds such as Hairston Cem, Mt Myra Cem, and Wilbourn Cem.

Evidence of the region's heritage is scattered across the Holly Springs National Forest and along the winding Cypress Creek. Landmarks like the Yalobusha Lookout Tower and smaller settlements such as Bruce Junction and Gums reflect a landscape shaped by both timber resources and the rail economy. Historical markers like the Old Indian Treaty Boundary provide a window into the earlier political divisions of the Mississippi interior.
