The Mississippi County Courthouse stands as the central landmark of Charleston, anchor of a grid-patterned settlement defined by streets like Goodin Ave and W Marshall St. This landscape is fundamentally shaped by its relationship to the Mississippi River, which forms the boundary between Missouri and Illinois. The surrounding lowlands are crisscrossed by a complex drainage network, including the Big Lake Bayou, Wolf Hole Lateral, and Fish Lake Ditch, illustrating the extensive engineering required to manage the floodplain for agriculture.
