1970 Map of Tylertown SE

About this map

Pushepatapa Creek and its tributaries carve a winding path through the borderlands of Walthall County and Washington Parish, marking the line between Mississippi and Louisiana. In the early 1970s, this landscape was defined by small rural settlements and a dense network of country churches and family burial grounds. The community of Kirklin sits near the western edge, while scattered landmarks like New Zion Ch and Magee Hill Ch served as central gathering points for local residents. A solitary Landing Strip and a modern Pipeline cut across the traditional terrain of gravel pits and small timber stands. From the Lookout Tower near Oral Ch to the quiet crossings of West Fork Pushepatapa Creek, the map documenting this transition period provides a clear view of the region's mid-century rural infrastructure and social geography.
