About this map

Grenada Lake dominates this northern Mississippi landscape, where the confluence of the Skuna River and Yalobusha River creates a sprawling reservoir across the border of Yalobusha and Grenada counties. The map captures the extensive recreational development around the water, including Carver Point State Park and Hugh White State Park, alongside numerous public use areas like Choctaw and Skuna-Turkey Creek.

Away from the shoreline, the terrain reveals a network of rural family history markers. Numerous small burial grounds, such as Stephens Cem and Bob Quarters Cem, are scattered through the hills, often near local congregations like York Ch or Bunton Ch. The settlement of Kincaid sits in the southern portion of the sheet, providing a primary reference point for the surrounding timberland and creek valleys like Wolf Creek and Hurricane Creek.
