2018 Map of Tilton

About this map

The Pearl River winds through this section of the Mississippi piney woods, forming a massive, serpentine boundary between Lawrence and Marion counties. The landscape is defined by the heavy meanders of the river and its associated wetlands, including Wilsons Lake and the tributary waters of White Sand Creek. This environment historically shaped local settlement patterns, seen here in the placement of Robinwood and Tilton on the higher ground flanking the river's floodplain. Family history and local heritage are preserved in rural landmarks like Sauls Cem and Bozeman Cem, while a network of named country roads such as Robinwood Rd and Tilton Rd connect these small communities. The map provides a clear record of land divisions, marking the township and range lines that structured the region's development along the river corridor.
