How do I shift PictureBox image left and right

Question

There are lots of examples out there for picturebox adjustments but none of them seem to do what I'm trying to do:

I have a 75x900px picture box and a 75x1200+ image. I don't want to stretch it. I've divided the image up into 75x75 squares and have arrows to move the selected box left and right. When I scroll off to the right I want to shift the image to the left to show the box on the far right, etc. I don't want to move the location of the picturebox.

Maybe picture box is the wrong object to do this with? I don't really need a scroll bar. Currently I'm assembling a bunch of 75x75 squares into the background image and rearranging the order as I use the arrows.

Could you explain your approach with some Sreenshots ?
I don't understand, what you trying to achieve ...

PictureBox is a totally redundant control, because everyone can make something similar. Make a custom control and align the image the way you want. Of course, don't use PictureBox as a child of your control. Instead, render the image from scratch, by overriding Control.OnPaint.

That's all.
