2018 Map of Tchula

About this map

Tchula and the rail-oriented settlement of Gwin sit at the edge of the Mississippi Delta, where the flat alluvial plain meets the rising hill country. This landscape is defined by its complex hydrology, featuring the winding Tchula Lake, Horseshoe Lake, and the expansive Cypress Swamp. The transition to higher ground is marked by the winding course of Fanneousha Creek and the Hillside Levee, which protects the low-lying agricultural fields. For those tracing local families, numerous small burial grounds are scattered across the terrain, including New Zion Cem and Saint Johns Cem near Shackleford, alongside the more remote Wyatt Cem and Cunliff Cem. The map also details the area's transportation network, from the historic Old Hwy 49 to the contemporary Highway 49E ATV Trail and the local streets of Tchula such as E Main St.
