2015 Map of Tinsley

About this map

Bentonia anchors the southeastern corner of this Yazoo County landscape, where the flatlands meet the dissected uplands of central Mississippi. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages, including Mound Cr and Sandy Creek, which have carved deep contours into the earth. Smaller settlements like Tinsley, Anding, and the evocatively named Oil City dot the interior, connected by a web of local routes such as Tinsley Rd and Old MS-49. Genealogists will find several notable burial sites preserved here, including Hudson Cem, Cessna Cem, and Ogden Cem. The map illustrates the persistent rural character of the region, where legacy place names like Stevens and Little Yazoo remain as markers of local identity amidst the complex topography of the Magnolia State's hill country.
