About this map

The Tallahatchie River meanders across this Tallahatchie County landscape, defining the life and movement of the region. Near the settlement of Philipp, the river’s legacy is visible in the numerous boat landings that dot its banks, including Phillips Landing, Bennetts Landing, and Lamkins Landing. The complex hydrology of the Delta is on full display here, with oxbows and bayous such as Hampton Lake, Blue Lake, and Hardtime Lake scattered across the floodplain.

Genealogists will find several burial sites recorded, including Bethel Cem, Jones Chapel Cem, and Mount Calvery Cem. The map also details the engineering of the river at Pecan Point, where the Pecan Point Cut-Off illustrates efforts to manage the winding waterway. Smaller communities like Distall, Macel, and Sisloff Junction are connected by a network of local routes like Tippo Rd and River Rd, reflecting the rural agricultural character of the area.
