About this map

The Yalobusha River carves a winding path through this corner of Grenada County, defining a landscape of creek-fed bottomlands and rural homesteads. The village of Holcomb serves as a local hub near the southern edge of the sheet, connected by a network of roads like Cascilla Rd and Holcomb Sweethome Rd. Small settlements such as Dubard and Bew Springs are situated along the transit corridor leading east, illustrating the traditional clustering of communities around water and road junctions.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of family-named burial sites, including Ashland Cem, McSwine Cem, and Tascohoma Cem. The topography is marked by numerous drainages such as Long Cr, McSwine Cr, and Baker Cr, which have historically dictated the placement of farms and cemeteries across these uplands. This 2012 survey provides a clear look at the persistent rural character of the region, where legacy names from early settlement remain anchored to the physical terrain.
