About this map

Grenada Lake dominates the central landscape of this survey, where the Yalobusha River enters the reservoir. The map documents a period of transition for the eastern end of the lake, showing the fluctuating water levels between the Summer Pool and Winter Pool. On the northern shores, the settlement of Youngs and the nearby Youngs Landing represent long-standing riverfront connections, while the communities of Graysport and Gore Springs anchor the southern and western portions of the quadrangle.

Genealogists will find a wealth of specific landmarks, including several rural churches such as Mt Nebo Ch, Shiloh Ch, and Little Rock Ch. The terrain is deeply carved by numerous drainages including Bullpen, Cowpen, and Butputer Creek. Cultural footprints are further preserved through the locations of the Parker, Jones, and Williams cemeteries, providing a clear record of local family history and burial sites across Grenada, Yalobusha, and Calhoun counties.
