2020 Map of Tutwiler

About this map

Tutwiler stands at a crossroads of the Mississippi Delta, where the borders of Coahoma, Quitman, and Tallahatchie counties converge. This 2020 landscape is defined by its deep agricultural grid and a complex network of slow-moving waterways including Muddy Bayou, Walnut Bayou, and the Upper Quiver River. The settlement of Dublin lies northwest of Tutwiler along a diagonal corridor that follows the path of Old Hwy 49. A striking number of small, dispersed burial grounds are recorded here, such as Rosemound Cem, Galena Cem, and the Hebrew Cem, providing critical anchor points for family historians. The map also captures several sloughs, including Carson Slough and Long Dam Slough, which weave between family-named roads like Leshe Cheairs Rd and Jonestown-Claremont Rd. This survey documents a rural region where small-town life remains tightly tied to the drainage patterns and historical road alignments of the Delta.
