1993 Map of Charleston
USGS Topo · Published 1996About this map
The city of Charleston serves as the focal point for this survey of the northern Mississippi Delta, where the landscape is defined by extensive water management and floodplain engineering. Protected by a massive Levee system, the area features the New Madrid Floodway and a complex network of drainage channels including the Spillway Ditch and Fish Lake Ditch. These features illustrate the region's historical battle against the seasonal rise of the Mississippi River, which borders the Sliding Towhead to the north.
