Tallahatchie Crossing|Iron Bridge|Wyott's Crossing|Wyliesport|Wylie's Crossing in The Mansion (Location)

This novel mentions both "Old Wyliesport on the river" (228) and "Wylie's Crossing" (244), place names which only appear in the last two Yoknapatawpha fictions. It's likely that they are basically the same place, and that the place is the one Faulkner refers to elsewhere as Wyott's Crossing. In "Red Leaves" this place is the furthest steamboats once came up the Tallahatchie River (therefore a "port"), and where later a man named Wyott ran a ferry across the River (hence "crossing"). Later still, the Tallahatchie at this point was crossed by both a car and a railroad bridge.
