2012 Map of Tinsley

About this map

The Tinsley Oil Field dominates this central Mississippi landscape, marking a site of significant industrial importance within Yazoo County. This early 21st-century survey details the infrastructure supporting the local petroleum industry, including the settlement of Oil City and the nearby village of Tinsley, which features its own Post Office. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage systems, including Thompson Creek, Perry Creek, and Mound Creek, which carve through the land alongside numerous family-named routes such as Robinette Road and Edgar Garrison Road. Genealogists and local historians will find value in the placement of several small burial sites, including Cessna Cemetery, Hudson Cemetery, and Ogden Cemetery. The presence of Anding to the east further illustrates the rural settlement pattern, where small communities emerged around transport lines and natural resource extraction points.
