2020 Map of Tinsley

About this map

The community of Tinsley and the nearby Oil City anchor this Yazoo County landscape, where the local economy and road network are deeply intertwined with the region's energy history. Numerous local roads, such as Anding Oil City Rd and Tinsley Rd, connect these settlements to Anding and the crossing at Bentonia. The terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including Mound Creek, Sandy Creek, and Thompson Creek, which carve through the land between the ridges. Genealogists will find several well-preserved landmarks of the area's rural heritage, notably the Cessna Cemetery, Hudson Cemetery, and Old Concord Cemetery near Little Yazoo. The map details a transition from the elevated uplands down toward the creek bottoms, tracing family-named routes like Broocks Rd and Henderson Rd.
