Middle Island Creek and McElroy Creek wind through this part of Tyler County, defining a landscape shaped by narrow valleys and numerous small settlements. Small villages such as Shirley, Centerville, Tyler, and Wilbur are connected by a network of winding county roads that follow the natural contours of the creek beds. The presence of the Shirley Post Office near Doe Run and several family-named burial grounds, including Pierpont Cemetery and Smith Cemetery, indicates a long-settled rural community with deep genealogical roots.
