2010 Map of Walnut

About this map

Walnut and the surrounding Tippah County countryside are defined by a network of rural settlements and many small cemeteries that speak to the long-standing community roots in the area. The landscape is heavily marked by the drainage systems of Hurricane Creek, Muddy Creek, and the North Branch Hurricane Creek, which feed into local landmarks like Muddy Lake. Of particular note is the Biloxi National Cemetery, situated among smaller crossroads communities such as Mount Moriah and Brownfield. These settlements are linked by a dense grid of county roads that navigate the varying terrain, connecting local families to historic burial grounds including Enon Cemetery, New Salem Cemetery, and the Tipplersville Cemetery further south near Tiplersville. The map illustrates a modern rural geography where traditional community anchors—churches and family cemeteries—persist alongside updated infrastructure.
