2021 Map of Tula

About this map

The Yocona River and its network of tributaries define this landscape along the border of Lafayette and Calhoun Counties. Small, established communities like Tula and Sarepta are connected by a web of county roads, showing the persistent rural settlement pattern of the region. For genealogists, the map is particularly valuable for its documentation of local burial grounds, including the Tula Cem, Old Dallas Cem, and New El Bethel Cem. The terrain is deeply etched by watercourses such as Muckaloon Cr and Potlockney Cr, which flow toward the central river valley. Smaller bodies of water like Coon Creek Lake and Russell Lake suggest the local importance of land management and recreation. This survey provides a modern view of these long-standing Mississippi communities while preserving the locations of family-named landmarks like Webb Cem and the settlement at Spring Hill.
