In the top picture, the turtle in the lower left hand corner with the paler coloration is definitely a male False Map Turtle, Graptemys pseudogeographica. Please post another picture of the map turtle in the upper right hand corner that includes a profile shot of both sides of the head. I say this because the turtle is giving off traits of both the False Map and the Mississippi Map, but there are a few defining characteristics linked to the striping of the finer lines on the face which would set them apart. Or possibly it is a cross.
