Tyler County, Texas Map

Reading the Tyler County map

The outline on this map is Tyler County's legal boundary as published in the U.S. Census Bureau's TIGER/Line files. At 923 square miles, the county is roughly the size of a square 30 miles on each side — a typical size for a Texas county. Texas county lines are a mix of surveyed straight lines and natural features — compare the edges of this map to see which ones follow water.

The red marker shows Woodville, the county seat, and the highlighted shapes in the schematic view are the bordering counties. Use the layer switcher to change between street, satellite and terrain backgrounds: satellite is best for seeing farmland and development patterns, while terrain shows hills, valleys and river corridors.

Landscape of the East Texas
