About this map

Holly Springs National Forest encompasses a significant portion of this Yalobusha County landscape, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of creek drainages and small lakes. Numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Sardinia Cem, Saint Andrews Cem, and Salem Cem, are scattered across the quadrangle, serving as vital landmarks for genealogical research in this rural Mississippi region. The area's hydrology is complex, with Tillatoba Cr and Billups Creek winding through the timberland, feeding into localized bodies of water like Coker Lake, Swearengen Lake, and Chesnut Lake.

Transport is dictated by an intricate system of county roads, including Robinson Chapel Rd and Goshen Rd, which connect isolated homesteads and forest tracts. The northern edge of the map touches the southern reaches of Enid Lake, illustrating the transition from managed forest to the riparian margins of the larger reservoir. This survey provides a clear view of the rural settlement patterns and natural resource boundaries in the early 21st century.
