2021 Map of Tyro

About this map

The intersection of Tyro serves as a central hub for this portion of North Mississippi, where the landscape transitions from the headwaters of James Wolf Cr down toward the northern reaches of Sardis Lake. This 2021 survey illustrates a region defined by its rural cemeteries and scattered settlements, including Harmontown, Glenville, and Teckville. The terrain is intricately carved by numerous small waterways such as Greasy Cr, Mercer Cr, and Lofomby Cr, which dictate the winding paths of local routes like Looxahoma-Tyro Rd and Wyatte-Tyro Rd. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the four-county junction of Tate, Marshall, Panola, and Lafayette counties, ranging from the Independence Cem in the northwest to the Free Springs Cem further south. These landmarks, along with places like Mount Patient Cem and Harris Chapel Cem, provide a reliable framework for tracing family roots in this corner of the state.
