2015 Map of Tutwiler

About this map

Tutwiler and Dublin anchor this Delta landscape, where the flat alluvial plain is defined by a dense network of slow-moving waterways and agricultural drainage. Several burial grounds, including Hebrew Cem, Philadelphia Cem, and Rosemound Cem, provide critical points of interest for genealogists tracing local families across Coahoma, Quitman, and Tallahatchie counties. The topography is shaped by the Upper Quiver River and a system of bayous and sloughs, such as Muddy Bayou and Carson Slough, which weave through the section lines. This 2015 survey reveals how established transport routes like Old MS-49 and numerous family-named roads, including Leshe Cheairs Rd and Yandell Rd, follow the natural rises of the land near these ancient watercourses.
