Holly Springs National Forest dominates the rolling landscape of north-central Mississippi, where the boundaries of Yalobusha and Grenada counties meet. This modern survey shows a rural geography defined by the upper reaches of numerous waterways, including Simmons Creek, Davis Creek, and the winding Perry Creek. The small community of Scobey sits along the western edge, while Hardy serves as a southern anchor near the Grenada county line. The land is dotted with several small water bodies, such as Texas Lake and Organ Lake, reflecting the hydrological character of this forested region. For genealogists and local historians, the map identifies small markers of human presence like Jehovah Cem and the settlement at Gatewood. The transportation network is a grid of county roads, including Scobey Rd and Tillatoba Rd, which connect these isolated homesteads and timberlands to the larger region.
