2015 Map of Schlater

About this map

Schlater and Minter City anchor this Mississippi Delta landscape, where the alluvial plain is defined by the winding course of the Tallahatchie River and its associated oxbows. The map highlights the agricultural and rural character of the region, featuring small settlements such as Highlandale and the community of McNutt. The river's influence is evident at Eutah Bend and along the banks of Marsh Bayou, which drain the flat, fertile soils. Local history is preserved in several family and community burial grounds, including McNutt Cem, Watkins Cem, Shiloh Cem, and Humphrey Cem. A dense network of county roads, such as River Rd and Walton Church Rd, connect the scattered farmsteads and small crossroads that have sustained this cotton-growing country for generations.
