I don't know about specific scenery for the area but there are some flight plans.
The documentation might have some recommendations.

And some old SOH discussion...

there's not really any scenery as such, you'll need good mesh of the area and a map of the route, maybe check over at MAIW, someone may have done a flightplan or traffic.

It's funny that I was looking into this just a month ago. I ended up using what maps I could find and Google Earth to equate landmarks in FS and was able to make a satisfactory path that was close to the real thing. To help myself along I created an afcad that I used to place big hoops in the air at key points to fly through and get me pointing toward the next one, they come up awfully fast. If I fly it enough times I'll have it memorized, but at 600+ kts I'm still bailing out of the circuit pretty often. Below are the sources I found. Hope you have as much fun as I did.

I find it strange you've gone through a lot of effort to fly the mach loop but you fly it at 600 plus knots no wonder you have issues flying as your exceeding speed limits for the terrain.
Average speed is 420 knots max is 450 knots.
Below 150ft max short burst speed is 500 knots.
Above 150ft max short speed is 550 knots.
Fly these and you will be realistic and fun.

Those above are for FSX,but if you have FS Navigator for Fs9,it will convert them to Fs9 plans for you
(how do I know that
).
Use your GPS and fly as Jason32 suggests.
Use a JP5,Meteor,P-51 Mustang or Griffon Spit to get the hang of it.
A Hunter,Sea Vixen,Sabre or Hawk T.1/2 or similar are great fun.
No wonder the Valley boys are always grinning when they recover back from a run around the Loop.
