2012 Map of Tchula

About this map

The town of Tchula and the nearby community of Gwin serve as the primary hubs in this part of the Mississippi Delta, defined by a landscape of curving waterways and numerous burial sites. The oxbow of Tchula Lake and the waters of Horseshoe Lake dominate the northwestern quadrant, where the Southland Flying Service Inc. Airport highlights the agricultural aviation history of the region. Local heritage is preserved in a dense network of family and community resting places, including Wyatt Cem, Cunliff Cem, and Saint Johns Cem. The map illustrates the transition from the low-lying bayous near Millstone Bayou and Fannegusha Cr to the more structured roads of Holmes County, such as Hillside Levee Rd. Smaller settlements like Oswego, Wyatt, and Shackleford are connected by a system of rural routes and the presence of the Railroad St corridor in Gwin, marking the area's historical reliance on rail transportation.
