2018 Map of Schlater

About this map

Schlater and Minter City anchor this Delta landscape, defined by the intricate winding of the river and the vast agricultural grids of Leflore and Tallahatchie counties. The map captures the distinct hydrologic character of the region, where numerous brakes and bayous, such as Ashland Brake, Buckhorn Brake, and Marsh Bayou, intersect with the straightened drainage of the surrounding fields. This 2018 survey documents a region where the geography is heavily dictated by the alluvial plain, visible in the dramatic loop of Eutah Bend and the presence of rural settlements like Highlandale and Sunnyside. For those tracing family histories or local land use, the map identifies several significant landmarks including Watkins Cem, Shiloh Cem, and Humphrey Cem, situated along a network of county roads that have long served these farming communities.
