I know its near Bulltown but I don't know much else.
Here is a fragment of some info linked to Tylertown that I found on Yahoo.
I don't have time to look further yet.

I do not have the info on when the state purchased it, but my info shows that Joseph Wharton did acquire it before the state did. That is not certain but it looks that way. But I can tell you with certainty that the parcel of land designated as Tylertown is 83.2455 acres.
And it is a gold mind for stones!

Here's what I found through googling, which isn't too much:

If you have access to USGS topoquads, it should show up on the Jenkins quad. I'm trying to track down a digital copy of one, if I'm successful, I'll post a graphic of it.

Thanks for the info...I was wondering what kind of town this was at one point. We know where it is...just wanted to see if there was any particular signifigance to the area.

When I get home I will check some of my reference books.
I do believe that Beck wrote about it in one of the "Forgotten Towns" series.

Sorry, I misread your original post & thought you were asking where it was. Guess it's time to get the ol' eyes checked out.
No problem at all. I can't see anymore from reading all those posts into the wee hours of the morning. 
I wish we had time machines.

Tylertown: This "cross roads" hamlet is probably not more than 50 years old. It is located two miles north of Bulltown in Washington.
Gordons makes no mention of it, so it's not an "old" town by any means.

Tylertown and Bulltown is about 1/3 north or 2/3 south on the Batona Trail. NOT that i would consider stealth camping here

There was some cranberry and blueberry farming in the area. From what I have recall there were some very old families (a few still there) who made a living off the land and in the local towns nearby.... The "town" Tylertown may not have existed much before 1900, but the family homesteads were there. I know some of the folk still living up there....been there quite some time and proud of it.

From driving through it, the place seems like a nice place to live. Very quite and peaceful and completely surrounded by the forest. I would just worry about the forest fires though. It's not too far from the Batsto - Wash turnpike and Bulltown. I could see there being homes there in the early part of the 1900s, but I've never really explored the area.
