About this map

The settlement of Scobey and the northern border of Hardy define this landscape along the Yalobusha and Grenada county line in north-central Mississippi. Much of the central and eastern terrain is preserved within the Holly Springs National Forest, a region characterized by a dense network of creeks including Simmons Creek, Organ Creek, and Riverdale Creek. Small water bodies like Lake Tillatoba, Organ Lake, and Texas Lake dot the forested hills, suggesting a landscape managed for conservation and local recreation.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Scobey Cemetery near the town site and the Jehovah Cemetery further east, providing vital points of reference for family research in this rural area. The map illustrates the transition from the concentrated residential footprint of Scobey to the more dispersed homesteads of Gatewood. The presence of roads like Old US Hwy 51 and Scenic Loop Rd indicates the enduring importance of these corridors for connecting these small communities across the wooded creek valleys.
