About this map

Charleston serves as the focal point of this Tallahatchie County landscape, where the town grid is established south of the N Fork Tillatoba Cr. The terrain to the north is defined by a dense network of creek drainages, including Sherman Cr, Mitchell Cr, and Buntyn Cr, which carve through the land before reaching the Tallahatchie Bluff. These waterways influenced the early settlement patterns and the placement of rural outposts like Teasdale in the northeast.

Genealogists will find value in the documentation of local burial sites such as Saint Johns Cem and New Town Cem, both situated near the town center. The map also records numerous family-named roads and geographic features, from Starck Hollow to Lake Martha, reflecting the deep-rooted agricultural and rural character of the region. The modern road network, including Teasdale Rd and Snake Hill Rd, provides a clear view of how these small communities were linked during the early twenty-first century.
