2012 Map of Schlater

About this map

Schlater anchors this Delta landscape, characterized by a complex network of agricultural roads and drainage features typical of the Yazoo Basin. The map details the transition from the settlement at McNutt, featuring the McNutt Cem, to the rural communities of Highlandale and Sunnyside. A notable geographic feature is the Eutaw Bend of the river, where Eutaw Bend Landing once served as a vital point of transit. Numerous small family or community burial grounds, such as Watkins Cem, Shiloh Cem, and Humphrey Cem, are scattered across the terrain, offering essential data points for local genealogists. The presence of Marsh Bayou and various drainage canals illustrates the intensive water management required to maintain the surrounding productive farmland, while historic routes like Moores Lake Store Rd suggest former centers of local commerce.
