About this map

Byhalia serves as a primary hub in this portion of Marshall County, situated near the headwaters of Byhalia Cr and the complex drainage of Barrow Cr. The landscape is defined by its transition from these northern creeks to the southern lowlands of Pigeon Roost Creek and Cuffawa Creek. A network of rural settlements including Warsaw, Watson, and Watson Center are connected by local roads like Fairview Rd and Tunstall Rd.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites scattered across the township lines of t2s r5w and t3s r4w, ranging from Byhalia Cem in the north to Horn Cem and Liberty Hill Cem in the south. The presence of several smaller family or community plots, such as Isaac Cem and Watkins Cem, provides a detailed record of the local population's history. The hydrological engineering of the region is evident in the Red Banks Creek Canal, which cuts through the central portion of the map, illustrating efforts to manage the wetlands and water flow in this corner of Mississippi.
