About this map

Holly Springs National Forest dominates this landscape along the border of Yalobusha and Grenada Counties, where the land is defined by a dense network of creeks and small lakes. The Illinois Central Gulf railroad runs north-south through the western portion of the quadrangle, serving the settlements of Scobey and Hardy. These small communities grew around the rail corridor, which provided a vital link for the timber and agricultural resources of the surrounding hills.

Water management and forest service operations are evident throughout the terrain, from the Grenada Work Center and a Pumping Station to numerous water bodies like Lake Tillatoba and Texas Lake. Rural life is anchored by landmarks such as Jehovah Ch, several small cemeteries, and a Communication Tower near Hardy. The topography is a maze of drainage basins including Otuckalofa Creek, Simmons Creek, and Cypress Creek, reflecting the managed wetlands and timberlands of north-central Mississippi at the turn of the 21st century.
