About this map

Charleston serves as the focal point of this 2020 landscape, where the Tallahatchie County Courthouse and Charleston PO mark the civic heart of the region. The transition from the flat agricultural plains in the west to the dissected uplands of the east is clearly defined by the Tallahatchie Bluff. This elevation change separates the systematic grid of the valley floor from the winding roads and creek systems of the hill country, such as Starck Hollow and Sherman Cr.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several burial grounds including Saint Johns Cem, New Town Cem, and Oak Grove Cem. To the north, the small settlement of Teasdale sits near the headwaters of Buntyn Cr, while the southern reaches are dominated by the winding path of Tillatoba Cr. The map details a network of rural routes like Fire Tower Rd and Paducah Wells Rd, providing a clear record of modern property boundaries and land use.
