2015 Map of Scooba

About this map

Scooba serves as the primary hub of this eastern Mississippi landscape, where the educational campus of East Mississippi Community Coll sits near the town center. The settlement pattern is defined by a series of cemeteries and rural crossroads, including the communities of Electric Mills to the south and Giles to the northeast. This area of Kemper County is heavily dissected by a network of waterways such as Big Scooba Cr, Bodka Cr, and Pushacoona Cr, which carve through the terrain and influence the winding paths of local routes like Old Highway 16 and Binnsville Rd. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several local burial sites, including Cedar Lawn Memorial Cem and Old Scooba Cem, alongside small local landmarks like the Blue Chapel.
