2018 Map of Holcomb

About this map

Holcomb serves as the primary settlement on this landscape, situated near the intersection of several local routes such as S Main St W and Paschal St. The surrounding terrain is defined by the winding course of the Yalobusha River and its numerous tributaries, including Long Creek and McSwine Cr. This area of Grenada County is notable for its high density of family and community burial grounds, such as Tuscohoma Cem, Trimbell Cem, and Cole Cem, providing significant points of interest for genealogical research. The map also highlights the rural infrastructure of the era, from the landing strip at Spencer Field near the eastern margin to the small community of Bew Springs. The landscape is a network of ridges and creek bottoms, with labels like Turkey Foot Folk and Pea Ridge Cem reflecting the local topography and naming conventions of this North Mississippi region.
