2014 Map of Tyro

About this map

The boundary between Lincoln and Drew Counties divides this section of Southeast Arkansas, where the landscape transitions from the winding course of Bayou Bartholomew to the open flats of Touchstone Prairie. The settlement of Tyro serves as a local hub near the headwaters of Ables Creek, while small rural communities like Coleman, Florence, and Warrenton are connected by a network of backroads such as German Road and Maplewood Road. Genealogists will find several notable burial sites scattered across the townships, including Tyro Cemetery and Oak Grove Cemetery. The terrain is characterized by its drainage patterns, with numerous tributaries like Weaver Creek and Panther Creek feeding into the larger bayou system. Notable landmarks such as Twin Mounds and Garrett Bridge further distinguish this agricultural and timber-rich region as it appeared in the early 21st century.
