About this map

Grenada Lake and the Tombigbee National Forest dominate the North-Central Mississippi landscape in this 1984 edition by the Mississippi River Commission. The region is defined by its drainage basins, where the Yalobusha River and Skuna River feed into the massive reservoir at Grenada, while the Tombigbee River and Aliceville Lake define the eastern border near Alabama.

Transportation networks are anchored by the Illinois Central Gulf RR and the St Louis-San Francisco Ry, connecting hubs like Kosciusko, Winona, and Carrollton. This map reflects the mid-1980s intersection of flood control infrastructure and rural settlement, capturing small communities such as Geeslin Corner and Hesterville alongside the conservation boundaries of the Holly Springs National Forest.
