2012 Map of Tula

About this map

Tula and the surrounding rural communities of Lafayette County are defined by a network of creeks and small family cemeteries. The landscape is carved by the Yocona River in the north and a dense system of tributaries including Muckaloon Cr, Coon Cr, and Potlockney Cr. Small settlements such as Spring Hill and Potlockney serve as local anchors, while the presence of the Old Dallas Cem, New El Bethel Cem, and Webb Cem provides significant points of interest for those researching local family lineages and pioneer burial grounds. The water system is further punctuated by Russell Lake and Coon Creek Lake, which break the winding stream patterns in the central part of the quadrangle. Transport is facilitated by an intricate web of county roads like Muccaloon Rd and Tula Rd, connecting these isolated clusters of activity within the wider Mississippi interior.
