2017 Map of Charleston
USGS Topo · Published 2017About this map
Charleston serves as the focal point of this Mississippi County survey, revealing the grid of a historic river-country seat amidst the fertile lowlands of Southeast Missouri. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrography, where the natural meanders of Big Lake Bayou and Stevenson Bayou meet the engineered precision of the Wolf Hole Lateral and Fish Lake Ditch. To the north, the Mississippi River boundary is marked by shifting alluvial features including Sliding Towhead, Browns Bar, and the sharp curve of Dog Tooth Bend at the Illinois border.
