2020 Map of Tylertown

About this map

Tylertown serves as the focal point of this modern survey of south-central Mississippi, where the Walthall County Courthouse stands near the intersection of several regional routes. The settlement pattern is defined by a series of smaller communities including Lexie, Lehr, and Simonds, connected by a network of local roads that follow the winding paths of Bogue Chitto and Magees Creek. For genealogists, the landscape is densely populated with family-named burial grounds, such as the Needham Alford Cem, Holmes Cem, and Duncan Cem. The southern edge of the map tracks the Mississippi-Louisiana state line, illustrating the transition from Walthall County into Louisiana’s Washington Parish. Significant water features like Harveys Pond and Popes Cr punctuate the wooded and agricultural terrain surrounding the Tylertown Cemetery.
