About this map

Grenada Lake and the Yalobusha River dominate the central landscape of this Mississippi region, where the water's edge meets a network of rural roads and historical land divisions. The settlement of Gore Springs lies in the southwest, while Youngs sits to the northeast, connected by the winding Graysport Crossing Rd. This 2018 survey reveals a terrain defined by its cemeteries and creek systems, including Butputter Creek and Yeager Cr, reflecting generations of local family history and rural community structure.

Prominent ridges such as the Dividing Ridge Rd navigate the undulating topography between the water bodies. Genealogists will find a significant concentration of burial sites, from Shiloh Cem and Mount Nebo Cem in the east to Pleasant Grove Cem and Parker Cem further west. The map also delineates the jurisdictional boundaries where Grenada and Calhoun counties meet, illustrating how modern infrastructure like Old Hwy 8 follows the older corridors of the river valley.
