2000 Map of Coffeeville

About this map

Coffeeville serves as the focal point of this North Mississippi landscape, situated just north of the expansive Grenada Lake inundation. The terrain is a mix of protected timberland within the Holly Springs National Forest and the managed waters of the Skuna River basin. Genealogy researchers will find a high density of rural burial sites, including the Mt Myra Cem, Wildburn Cem, and Hairston Cem, which are scattered throughout the hills surrounding the lake. The map reflects the mid-century infrastructure changes brought by the Grenada Lake Reservation, which altered traditional land use and established recreation zones like the Skuna Turkey Creek Public Use Area. Transport and communication landmarks, such as the Yalobusha Lookout Tower and a local Landing Strip, further characterize the development of Yalobusha County at the turn of the millennium.
