2012 Map of Tylertown

About this map

The town of Tylertown serves as the focal point of this Mississippi landscape, where the confluence of local roads and water bodies like Harveys Pond and Magees Creek shaped the community's development. Family history is deeply rooted here, evidenced by numerous burial sites such as Founders Cemetery, Tylertown Cemetery, and the Needham Alford Cemetery. These sites are often found near smaller settlements such as Lexie, Dillon, and Simonds, which are connected by a network of rural routes including Old Highway 98 W. The Bogue Chitto river and its many tributaries, including Silver Creek and Sweetwater Creek, dominate the western half of the map, illustrating the importance of these waterways to the local topography and historical settlement patterns in Walthall County.
