2018 Map of Tyro

About this map

Tyro sits at a crossroads of Lafayette, Tate, and Marshall counties, characterizing the rural landscape of northern Mississippi. The region is defined by a network of creeks and improved waterways, such as James Wolf Canal and Greasy Cr, which drain toward the extensive waters of Sardis Lake in the southeast. For researchers and genealogists, this documentation is particularly valuable for its density of family and community landmarks. Numerous burial sites including Free Springs Cem, Waldrip Cem, and Mount Pelyn Cem are scattered across the terrain, often located near small settlements like Harmontown and Glenville. The map captures the interface between managed hydraulic features and traditional rural communities, offering a clear record of the area's roads and land divisions as they existed in the late twenty-first century.
