2020 Map of Schlater

About this map

Schlater sits at the southern edge of this Mississippi Delta landscape, where a dense network of county roads like Schlater Rd and Walker Rd connects small agricultural communities. The terrain is defined by the slow-moving water of Marsh Bayou and distinctive wetland depressions such as Buckhorn Brake and Ashland Brake. To the north, the settlement of Minter City marks a historic crossroads near the Tallahatchie Co / Leflore Co boundary line. Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved on the landscape, including Watkins Cem, Shiloh Cem, and Humphrey Cem, which are scattered among the fields. The looping path of the river creates prominent landforms like Eutah Bend, reflecting the hydrologic history of a region shaped by its alluvial origins and long-standing cotton-farming heritage.
