2021 Map of Walnut

About this map

Walnut and Tiplersville anchor this northern Tippah County landscape, where the rolling hills of the Holly Springs National Forest meet the Tennessee state line. The terrain is deeply carved by a network of waterways including Muddy Creek, Hurricane Cr, and Spicewood Cr, which feed into larger bodies like Muddy Lake and Oak Grove Lake. This area is characterized by its dispersed rural settlements and a high density of country burial grounds that tell the story of early families in the region. Notable sites such as the Oakland Baptist Church Cem and Harmony Baptist Cem serve as focal points for local history. Further south, the community of Tiplersville is marked by the Tiplersville Cem, while the northern reaches include the small settlement of Brownfield near the border, illustrating a legacy of small-town commerce and community centered around the local road system.
