2020 Map of Skuna

About this map

The Skuna River defines the central corridor of this Calhoun County landscape, meandering through a series of north-south valleys. Small rural settlements like Skuna, Shepherd, and Bounds are established near the tributary junctions, representing the persistent agricultural community structure of north-central Mississippi. The terrain is characterized by numerous named waterways, including Persimmon Creek and Big Creek, which feed into the main river channel. Local heritage is concentrated at several hilltop cemetery sites, such as Zion Springs Cem and Mount Tabor Cem, which often serve as the primary remaining landmarks of earlier community centers. The network of county roads, including Co RD 242 and Co RD 314, follows the ridgelines and valley floors, connecting isolated homesteads to the river crossings.
