About this map

Tylertown serves as the focal point of this 2015 survey, situated at the crossing of major local thoroughfares in southern Mississippi. The town's layout is meticulously detailed, showing the proximity of the Tylertown Cem and Founders Cem to the central residential and commercial blocks. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Bogue Chitto river and its many tributaries, such as Magees Creek and Silver Cr, which drain the timber and agricultural lands of Walthall County.

Genealogists will find significant value in the high density of family-named burial sites and small settlements across the quadrangle. From the northern reaches near Rushing Cem down to Simonds and Dillon in the south, the map preserves the locations of numerous historic landmarks. Features like Lake Walthall and the Needham Alford Cem indicate deep-rooted community ties, while the boundary line between Mississippi and Louisiana marks the southern edge of the survey area.
