2012 Map of Cascilla

About this map

Cascilla serves as the primary settlement in this corner of Tallahatchie County, situated near the headwaters of numerous creeks and bayous. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrology, where the Yalobusha River flows across the southern portion and a network of wetlands includes Bear Lake, Wolf Lake, and White Lake. This 2012 survey illustrates a rural Mississippi environment heavily shaped by its water drainage, featuring long-established family and community markers like Bethel Cem, Stonefield Cem, and the dual-named Saint Peters Cem and Oxberry Cem. The road network, including W Turkey Foot Rd and Sycamore Flat Rd, follows the higher ground between the Varney Bayou and the winding course of Brushy Cr, reflecting a settlement pattern dictated by the low-lying terrain of the delta's edge.
