About this map

Grenada Lake dominates the western portion of this Mississippi landscape, where the inundated shoreline creates numerous peninsulas and inlets such as Old Orchard Bay. Along the eastern and southern shores, the terrain is marked by distinctive points and ridges including Cape Retreat, Carver Bluff, and the elevation of Little Mtn. The settlement pattern is largely rural, concentrated around small communities like Choctaw and Kincaid, while the interior is crisscrossed by a network of creeks such as Knight Creek and Hurricane Branch.

Family history researchers will find a significant number of burial sites scattered throughout the area. These include Stephens Cem and York Cem near the Yalobusha and Grenada county line, as well as Borriard Cem, Rohnsville Cem, and Bob Quarters Cem. The map provides a detailed view of the local road system, including routes like Old Hwy 8 and Roundville Church Rd, which link these small settlements and historic cemeteries across the undulating terrain east of the reservoir.
