The Yalobusha County Mississippi map compares Coffeeville and Water Valley, the county's two seats, and places Oakland and Tillatoba in the west and Scobey in the southeast. Enid Lake, the Yalobusha River, and the Skuna River create broad water features and two major drainage directions among wooded hills.

The decennial count and July 2025 estimate use different reference dates. Land and water measurements come from the 2025 Gazetteer. The density of 26.7 residents per square mile divides the 2020 population by 2025 land area and does not imply an even distribution among cities, farms, forest, or wetland.
Reading the Yalobusha County Mississippi map
MS 7 leads south from Water Valley through Coffeeville toward Grenada County. I-55 and US 51 form the western Oakland and Tillatoba corridor, while MS 32 crosses east and west at Coffeeville. Enid Lake recreation roads and shoreline approaches affected by changing water levels differ from ordinary through routes.
Boundary, Water, and Terrain
Enid Lake forms a large northeastern waterbody and stores runoff from the Yocona River system. The Skuna River in the southeast continues toward an arm of Grenada Lake. Wooded ridges and short valleys repeat in the center and west, and uplands between the two reservoir basins divide the county's terrain.
Settlement and Regional Context
Yalobusha County divides judicial and administrative functions between Coffeeville and Water Valley. Water Valley is the northern commercial, cultural, and arts-oriented center, while Coffeeville provides a central courthouse and transportation reference. The July 2025 estimate is about 0.8 percent below the 2020 census count, indicating relative stability.
Practical Map Uses
- Identify Coffeeville and Water Valley as dual seats
- Separate Enid Lake from Skuna River drainage
- Compare the I-55 and MS 7 north-south axes
